I had a hole in one once and I suck at golf.

yeah, a hole in one on a sub 200 yard hole is basically nothing, relative to the deal he's making about it. My dad golfs, averages around 80-90 per round, and has had two I think. 

what an insecure little child. if he was as good at golf as he always says he is, he wouldn't need to put out a statement about this.

It's actually a huge deal......but it's likely not true.

a huge deal for a guy who claims he's as good as the pros? sure, it was a massive deal for my dad (or for anyone). I was more meaning for this loser.

I'm an 8 index and still don't have one.  Got close a few weeks ago.  Been close a bunch of times, kick in.  I play with a guy that is a +3 and he's never had one either.  It doesn't tell me anything about Trump as a golfer or a person.  It's just strange.

I only golf once or twice a year, so I don't know what those numbers mean. Your average over par or something?

mine was like a 185 yd par 3....basically nothing? Screw you!

funny thing was I was absolutely ripped at the time...and the next hole I put two balls directly in the water from the tee

I'll say it again.....basically nothing to a guy who brags about being a pro.

Bryson DeChambeau is ranked 9th in the world and he has only one hole-in-one in his lifetime. In fact, it was at Augusta. Here it is…

Somehow, my father has two. On the same hole no less. 

HughFreakingDillon

I don't even get holes in one on mini golf. lol.

I would encourage you to read Rick Reilly's Commander in Cheat book. The odds of this story being true are close to zero. Especially with a fat old man hitting only a 5 iron into a strong wind on a 190 yard hole.

yeah it's random.  The John Rahm hole in one where he skidded over the water is still the greatest shot I've ever seen.

Kind of.  You're thinking of handicap, but that's not used anymore.  It's called an index and much more complicated and frustrating.

Yeah that one was cool. My all-time favorite hole-out though is Jack Nicholas in this charity round with Johnny Miller. It’s like Michael Jordan’s eyes-closed free-throw multiplied by infinity. The ultimate “I’m the greatest at this” moment.

that's insane. like, he barely even squared up before whacking it like he'd done it a thousand times before.

I golfed some in high school and have golfed like three times since, so what I say is just how my semi-understanding sees the luck/skill relationship to getting a hole-in-one.

A-hole in-one is cool. Once you are at some level of golfing competence (not me), you are more frequently going to put balls near the cup on par-3s. After that, it's luck and the greatest golfer may have one in a lifetime (or even none), while a lesser competent golfer could have three.

My dad was probably not at that level of competence and he still got one. It was pretty cool for him...didn't mean much in the long run.

I neither know, nor care, how good of a golfer Trump is. A hole-in-one?  Good for him. But making a big deal out of it to as national of an audience as you can is kinda sad. But what else would one expect from the most famous insecure person of all time?

185 is no joke for a hole in one.  If it was a 90 yarder from the reds, then we'd scoff!  But even then, you only get a few hole outs a year anyway, so I'd take it!

I remember the hole/flag was near the front of the green...there was a little hill in front of the green so we couldn't really see where the ball went.  We didn't think much of it but I remember we approached the hole and wondered where my ball was and found it in the hole.
