I had just gotten paired up with three guys I’d never met before. You know how that goes — the awkward “what’s up,” trying to remember names, everybody acting chill but secretly judging each other’s swings on the first tee.

By the time we got to Hole 4, I was finally loosening up. It was a 153-yard par 3, pin tucked a little in the back. Wind was calm. I pulled my pitching wedge, and one of the guys kinda looked at me like, “PW from 153?”

I just smiled and stepped up.

The swing felt perfect the second I hit it. Pure contact. That soft click right out of the center. The ball launched high, dead straight at the flag. Suddenly everybody got quiet watching it.

“Go… go…” one of the guys said.

The ball landed about a foot past the hole, took one hop, spun back hard, and disappeared.

For a second nobody said anything because we couldn’t tell if it actually dropped. Then one guy started yelling, “NO WAY THAT WENT IN!” and we all took off toward the green.

I was trying to act calm, but my heart was pounding. Walking up to the cup felt unreal. Sure enough, we got there and my ball was sitting at the bottom of the hole.

First hole-in-one. 153 yards. Pitching wedge. In front of three random guys I’d met like 45 minutes earlier.

The craziest part was how fast everything changed. On the first tee we were strangers. By the time we finished the round, it felt like I’d known them for years because we kept replaying the shot over and over. Every few holes one of them would just randomly say, “I still can’t believe that thing spun in.”

Hole in One

Zach H — Wed, 13 May 2026 12:46:06 GMT

I'm 43 years old. I'm the GM at Russellville Country Club. I've been around golf my entire life. I made my first hole in one ever on Friday, May 8th 2026. Hole number 4 at RCC. That day the pin was in the front of the green. We could see the flag, but couldn't see the hole from the tee box. It was playing 158 with a pretty good head wind into us. I hit about a 3/4 eight iron. (I play T150s and a Pro V1 X left dash). We all felt like it was a good shot somewhere on the front of the green, but couldn't see it from the tee. We were in a pretty heated wolf game and I was picking on that hole. Didn't know it went in, so I went ahead and picked the next guy who had one in the middle of the green. We get down to the green and were looking around for my ball. One of my buddies yells, "there's one in the hole!" It was pretty exciting.

Hole in one

Andrew F — Wed, 13 May 2026 12:20:52 GMT

Yesterday, 5/12/2026, first hole in one! Happened at Cranston Country Club in Cranston RI. Hole #8, island green. Back pin playing 137, hit a pitching wedge and a Titleist Truefeel ( didn’t want to lose a Pro v in the water..lol). It was kind of dark and just saw the ball disappear. My playing group we were all wondering if it went in the hole or in the water. As approaching the green I knew it was in the hole. What a great feeling, walking up to the hole and seeing my Titleist ball in it. I shared a picture, of course I was prepared to drop one if the ball wasn’t in the hole so had my putter and wedge.. didn’t want to look too cocky that I just hit the best shot of my life!

Max Taylor Hole in One

Max T — Wed, 13 May 2026 03:08:54 GMT

I had some time off work and decided to play an afternoon nine at my local course -- Columbus Park in Chicago, Illinois. I was randomly paired with another golfer and we were enjoying a lovely afternoon. On the Par 3 8th hole, I took a 7-iron and was 176 yards from the pin.

I knew I had hit it well as soon as it came off the club. The sun was shining right over the green, so I lost the ball once I saw it hit the green and begin to roll. As we walked closer to the pin, I realized I couldn't see the ball. I figured it had rolled off the back. I ran up to the green and couldn't believe my eyes as I looked in the hole! My first ever hole-in-one!

Unbeknownst to me, my playing partner took a picture of my tee shot. I've included that and a few others. I was using a Pro V1 with the NBC logo on it. I work for NBC Sports here in Chicago.

First Hole in one - and on my birthday!

Donna S — Tue, 12 May 2026 21:29:25 GMT

We were on vacation in California - played at Singing Hills in El Cajon on my birthday. First time playing there. We played the Willow Glen course. On the 18th tee, I shot my first hole in one - using a Titleist TruFeel red ball and a Titleist TSR1 7 hybrid. This particular hole is on an elevated tee-box so we were able to watch the ball the entire way into the hole. I am still in shock - I've only been playing about 5 years - since retiring. Here's hoping it's not my last :)

Hole-in-One

WTherrien — Tue, 12 May 2026 20:21:36 GMT

Been playing over 42 years. On May 12, 2026 playing at Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club, Cave Creek, Arizona. Hole number 6, Par 3, 134 yards, slight wind in our face, 9iron. Hole-in-One!! Very first one, now onto number two!! Hopefully it’s a lot sooner than the first one!! So excited beyond belief!

My First Hole-in-One happened today on My 27th Birthday!

Dakota T — Tue, 12 May 2026 20:03:53 GMT

Hey Team,

Today I experienced one of the coolest golf moments of my life, I made my very first hole-in-one on my 27th birthday at Indianwood Golf Course in South Florida.

It happened on Hole #13, a 175-yard par 3, using a cally 5-iron and a Titleist AVX ball.

What makes it even more meaningful is that I’ve only been playing golf for about 3 years, and I’m completely self-taught. I fell in love with the game almost immediately, and ever since then I’ve spent countless hours learning, practicing, and chasing moments like this.

The shot landed about a foot left of the flag and rolled toward the hole until I completely lost sight of it. Since I was playing solo, I couldn’t tell if it either dropped in or somehow rolled completely off the green.

I grabbed my phone and started recording as I drove up because I had a feeling something special had just happened.

Sure enough, the ball was sitting in the hole.

I’ve attached the video and a photo from the moment because it’s a memory I’ll probably never forget and some proof it actually happened. I also apologize in advance for the language in the video, the excitement completely took over once I realized it actually went in.

I know many golf companies celebrate milestones like hole-in-ones, so I wanted to reach out and share the story in case your team offers any recognition programs, memorabilia, certificates, or swag for accomplishments like this.

Either way, I’m just grateful for the experience and for a game that continues to challenge and reward me in ways I never expected.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for everything your brand does for golfers like me.

Best, Dakota Tyson (561)-891-9781

First Hole in One!

James O — Tue, 12 May 2026 15:05:12 GMT

Finally made my first hole in one last Wednesday, May 6th at Litchfield Country Club in Myrtle Beach! I broke two of my toes two weeks ago and was not sure if I would even be able to play, but our annual golf trip was already planned and paid for. Took a redeye flight in that Wednesday morning, we had 6 rounds scheduled. One on Wednesday, two Thursday, two Friday, & one Saturday before flying home.

I birdied the par 4 hole 15, birdied the par 5 hole 16, & then hit a nice 7-iron (T250) to the 165-yard par 3 hole 17... landed about 10 feet short of the cup, jumped up, rolled a few inches, then disappeared! Could not believe it. The best three hole stretch I think I will ever play. A week I will never forget.

I was using a Titleist Left-dash pro-V1x, 2025 T150 (PW-8I) /250 (7I-4I) combo set, SM10 (50, 54, 60) wedges, GT3 3-wood, GT2 7-wood, GT280 Mini Driver, and a Scotty Cameron Tour Super Rat

Hole in one

Thomas A — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:56:47 GMT

Golfing with friends at McGuires Evergreen golf course in Cadillac Michigan.

I was on hole #5, a par 3, the distance was 94 yards. With an elevated tee and water in front of the green. I used my cally Rogue 9 iron and the ball was a Titleist ProV 1. The ball flight was an awesome high arch. The ball struck the green with one bounce and hit the flag stick dropping into the hole. We could hear the ball strike the pin.

My first hole in one....at Pebble Beach #12

PATRICK A — Tue, 12 May 2026 04:39:41 GMT

Wife took me for my 45th bday to play Pebble Beach on Feb 6th the week before the professionals play the pro am. Was my first time and was nervous and started off 13 over on the front nine. Made a par on 10 and 11 before hitting the longest par 3 on the course. Caddie told me he needed me to hit 195 yard shot into the wind to cover the bunker. Not a big hitter so hit 4 hybrid with a nice cut high into the wind and knew it was good but couldn't see it land. Luckily 2 caddies and players were off to the left and saw it land and started cheering as it took one hop and went in. Of course ball was a pro v1 with my titleist glove and hat. Ended the back nine shooting 1 over for an 86. Still feels like a dream. Cool part is I work at MK Golf Technologies in San Antoino a club fitting place and get to brag to all my co workers which 2 are on staff with Titleist.

Hole in One

Zayne D — Tue, 12 May 2026 03:18:03 GMT

Hey Titleist Team! My name is Zayne Dayoub and i’m from Northampton, PA. I’m 21 years old and going into my last year of college at West Chester University. I was golfing with a buddy of mine and a random we got paired with at Wedgewood golf club in Lehigh County when I hit my first ever hole-in-one on the 4th hole of the pine course. It was 180 yard par 3 up-hill and I used a 6 iron to make the Ace! I used your ProV1x golf ball that has lasted me 4 separate rounds already (the ball definitely shows that) and I just wanted to share my experience with the member of Titleist. I think you guys are an amazing company and I will continue on to use your ProV1x golf ball as it’s the best ball I have ever come across since I started playing golf. I provided an image of the golf ball and me on the par three to this email. Thank you guys for being such a great company and sharing my experience!

My Second Hole In One Kevin Billy

Tue, 12 May 2026 01:29:39 GMT

On April 12th at my club Seven Oaks CC north of Pittsburgh I experienced my second hole in one during our weekly Sunday morning round. My first was in 2021 on our 8th hole using a Titleist 515 & Pro V-1. So coming off of three putting 8,9 & 10 this particular round I heading down the path to our 11th hole not feeling good. We arrived at the 11th tee playing 149 yards that day and with my Titleist T200 8 iron I teed up my Pro V-1 took my swing and two short bounces later it happened. A few hollers, high fives, chest bumps and my good friend saying "let me check with my range finder" was part of the great experience. Our second group pulling up to 10 green behind us were cheering as were members on the 12th tee over looking the 11th green. Our hole in one local rule is that the group receives a free shirt from the pro shop. Our normal chant on all of our par 3's when someone strikes it well is "shirts" well this time it happened! Two weeks later at our first event of the year I had no issue with supplying a keg for the guys! I want to acknowledge my Sunday playing partners that day; Slim, Jams & Mr. Bell and our 2nd group my brother Rich, Joe K, and Rich & Stevie Springer.

Thank you Titleist for taking part in both of my experiences!

1st ever hole in one

Tue, 12 May 2026 01:06:39 GMT

I've played regularly for over 30 years, finally got my first ace on a 114 yard island green. This yardage would normally be my 52⁰ Vokey wedge, but just earlier in the round my playing partner was talking about never taking a full swing with wedges. I decided to give it a shot, took a 3/4 swing with my T200 48⁰ gap wedge, landed about 5 to 6 feet short left and bounced towards the pin, hit the stick and dropped.

Long Par 3 - Hole in One

Sam S — Mon, 11 May 2026 22:52:16 GMT

The number 4 on the Lake Course at Kingwood Country Club was playing 215 yards. My wife and step-son were with me to celebrate his birthday, and Mother's Day. I took advantage of the occasion for a celebration of my own, carding my first hole-in-one after 45 years of playing this great game. I've played over 2500 rounds which means over 10,000 par threes. I have bounced off the stick on many occasions, carded an albatross from 245 yards, but a hole-in-one had eluded me until May 10th, 2026. Cheers!

Hole in One

Jennie W — Mon, 11 May 2026 19:27:10 GMT

I used a 7 iron on a 120 yard par 3. I hit the front on the green and watched it roll to the cup then it was gone. I thought it rolled behind the pin but lo and behold it dropped into the cup! I started golfing almost 7 years ago and am hooked on this silly game!! That hole in one still makes me smile. I was with some of the best of friends and even bought a keg at our club and I don’t even drink but it was well worth the money!!!

Par 4 Ace at parents' memorial tournament

KVosen — Mon, 11 May 2026 17:33:50 GMT

It was a true made for tv moment. I have hosted a charity golf tournament in memorial of my parents for over 12 years. For past 3 years, we have donated 100% of the proceeds to Corinne's Food Pantry in Clearwater, FL. Hole 14 in a drivable Par 4 at Clearwater Country Club with a pesky creek stretching across the entire front of the green. I took out driver and hit it dead straight at the pin. Our foursome plus my cousin observed the shot carry the creek and hit the green. We could not tell where it ended up so my other teammates teed off as well. I grabbed a wedge and putter (see picture) thinking my tee shot went over the back of the green. My partner said; "I do not see a ball back there. Did you check the cup?". We both took a step towards the hole and noticed the ball in the cup. The celebration commenced! What an honor to get my first hole in one during a tournament honoring both my parents for a charity and the icing on the cake was that it was a Par 4!

Lost my bag medal

Tonya C — Mon, 11 May 2026 15:50:51 GMT

I’ve lost my bag medal I received from when I got a whole in one many years ago. Is there any way to get a replacement?
