Each week we write to Golf Canada members who record a hole-in-one, congratulating them and asking if they’d tell us how it happened. These are their stories (edited for length and clarity).
Have you recently accomplished the feat of a hole-in-one? Tell us about it! Share your story, picture / video and course information with us at holeinone@golfcanada.ca.

<em>We were on our annual trip and decided to go to Kamloops this year. I was playing with my good friends Ryan Thompson, Brandon Kerr and Jeremy Mitchell. It was on hole #3, 136 yards and I hit my pitching wedge. It landed on the green, bounced and spun and headed toward the hole. I heard my ball hit the pin as it disappeared. The Marshall had even just pulled up beside the green to see it all happen.</em>

<em>Can't believe I got one! Thank you for the graphic!</em>

<p>
<em>Occurred on hole number 8 at Eagles Nest on Thursday, September 1st. I grabbed my gap wedge and hit three quarters swing to a front pin with a 121 yardage. The ball bounced about 10 feet short and right of the pin. The ball then rolled up and right in the front of the hole.</em>

<em>I received a hole-in-one during a team shotgun scramble tournament. After a long hot day of birdies and bogeys we were coming to the last hole to finish, which was Hole 16 at the UBC golf course. I had not been contributing to the team's score very well all day. This was the last chance for me to pull something out of the hat. I specifically remember calling the shot before hitting, pulling a 5 iron on a 195-yard par 3, hitting slightly to the right of the green and letting it roll down towards the hole. Low and behold that was exactly what happened except the ball disappeared. Looking at the group at the next tee box they began to scream in excitement, which is when it hit me that I just holed it.</em>

<em>Yes, it was an exciting to get a hole-in-one. I was playing with my husband, Paul Dashkewytch, and our friends, Kelly Dunn and Mike LaFarge. It was the 14th hole at The Springs Course in Radium. It was a back left pin (100 yards), and I used an A wedge. The shot landed passed the pin and slowly rolled back towards the hole. It was great fun as we were able to watch the ball slowly trickle into the hole. A foursome was waiting on the 15th hole, and they saw it too which added to the excitement. My only other hole-in-one was also at the Springs in 1998. The Springs gave me a flag to keep as a momentum which is so thoughtful.</em>

<em>Playing with friends Brian Rowe and Dave McConnell and added to the group was Brad Dahl. This was a fun one because we could watch it all the way. Dave’s comment while it was in the air “you’re buying drinks”.</em>
