I came painfully close to an ace in 2002 at a company tournament. It was the 7th hole, par3, 170yds at Riverchase in Dallas. There was a closest to the pin competetion on that hole. The green was about 30 feet below the tee.

I took a big swing with my 7 iron and crushed it. I seriously thought I overshot the green as soon as I hit the ball, but it took a high lazy flight and hit about 10 feet away from the hole. It made a beeline for the cup and promptly bounced off the marker for the closest shot! It took a 45 degree turn stopping 2 feet to the right past the cup.

Hey Curval, is this how much?

Missed it by that much

The closest I ever got was within about 6" on a 135 yd at my local course in my first year playing.

The nine iron shot didn't get a foot off the ground as I viciously topped it. One of the worst shots in my life and still a tap in birdie.

If it had gone in on such a bad shot, I would have had to give up the game.

Curval, missing a hole in one by >< much is like saying you missed a 6-number lottery by 1 number.

Agreed....and if I had missed a six number jackpot by one number I'd have posted about that too.
