I was playing in a corporate tournament last year and they had one of those prizes that pays $10,000 to the first contestant that makes the hole in one on the 155 yard hole.
My foursome agreed that if anyone hit it we would share it $4,999 to the player who made the shot and $1,667 each for the other three.
I was last in our foursome to tee off and as we watched it land on the green and roll towards the hole we were sure it was going in. It missed the hole by about an inch and stopped 2 1/2 inches behind the cup. I did end up with the closest to the pin award (a new putter). This is the closest I have come to actually hitting a hole in one.
