  ON the same hole.  Kiawah #8, happy for the eagle, but this is getting funny.

  I'm assuming the funny is a bit sarcastic, neil. At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I took notice because of my own putting oddities in the last few days. In a round of 9, any format, I'll have at least 6 putts slide over the edge of the hole and stop 1-2 ft away. Putts that I know well. I shot a 36 at a SA RG and 2 putted 8 of the greens this way! It's almost as if the screen and the game geometry aren't lined up. I'm accepting responsibility so there's no blaming going on, I'm just experiencing something different.

  Heh-I'd rather have neil's problem.

  Congrats Neil - great shooting.

  YJ - harshing Neil's buzz :-)  Need me to break out my putting equation again?

  LMAO-I remember that. I think they misplaced one of the symbols this time.

  Congrats.I`ll never get a hole in one here:) Now you can throw away your putter. Sounds like you don`t need it.

  Whogolf, you sound like me before 4/12.  Then fired off 3, and missed a 4th by smacking the flag and ending 1 ft away (all on the same hole).  Keep plugging away.  I think 8th at Kiawah is probably the easiest.

  marioh, drives me nuts match play stats dont register.  You still hit a 2nd hole in one, because its match play it didn't happen?

  I think those 3 were a result of WGT being nice to me.  I had so many close shots that got rejected by the pin.  But WGT got me back, hit a wedge on Bethpage yesterday (saved the replay) it landed on the hole or on the edge, no bounce, no roll, no nothing, just stuck there.  Since we dont have rain conditions yet, it defied the laws of physics. It was kind of HAHAHA moment from WGT

  Whogolf, I will trade you my 3 aces here, for 1 in real life anyday.  Came close, like hanging on the lip close, just once.  At BPB in real life, 14th hole.  A 1/16th of a ball rotation, a small breeze, even a gophers fart would have knocked this in.

  It would of killed me to have to write that on the score scorecard.That'd be one birdie I wish I'd never gotten.Still sounds like it was an excellent shot.
