I almost got a hole in one twice. In both instances, you couldn’t see where the hole was. One was to the left and covered by forest, so most people just shoot straight their first swing and then they can see the hole after that. I intended to shoot a bit at an angle, but it shanked a little to the left, and it landed a couple feet from the hole when I got there. I thought it was in the forest at first.
The other hole was way up a steep hill. To this day, I’ve never seen a hole like that. I shot it upwards with a five iron and it went straight over, but you could obviously not see where it landed. People who don’t have any strength would have no way of climbing up that hill, and they’d have to go a very long away around a gentler slope. I had to use my hands at times to get up that hill (seriously, what hole IS THIS?). I found my ball just two feet from the hole.
These were in a course designed for kids training. Think I was 13 at the time. I was much better then than I am now. I suck now. I couldn’t drive it more than 150 yards then, but I was very accurate. Now its occasionally a crap shoot. Think I watched too many drive competitions and instinctively make my swing past parallel as a result. Not good.
