Been playing for 45 years - no hole in one. Dozens within a foot.

But I do have a double eagle.

But no not bitter about the hole in one thing. Nope, not bitter at all. It is what it is, just the breaks of the game … shit.
 
One double eagle in my life. I've had 3-4 eagles this year so far, all at the beginning of the season. I have since opted to lay up on every par 5 hole instead of "going for it". Coincidentally, my eagle chances have evaporated but my birdie rate is much, much higher and my overall scoring (previous post) has gone down. Who knew that limiting hero shots, playing irons off the tee instead of wildly bombing driver all the time, and placing the ball around the course and keeping it in play would lead to lower scores?
 
INT has the reverse sweep in progress. Need to pull one of these out. Homa & Harmon absolutely crapped the bed on 16. Day puts it in the drink and we still don't win the hole.

Welp, worked the last 2 nights and been awake the better part of 50+ hours, about to head out to Jester. Wish me luck.

I stuck too much money into it, but it's fun to be able to play year round at anytime of the day at any course you want. I stay up on third shift life on my days off and it gives me something to do.
How much was the total cost after the shed/simulator? ~$15,000?
 
Hit ‘em straight. Anticipating drink cart photos.
Update after 8-probably the worst round of the year. Smoked my tee shot 325 with help from the wind on #1. Proceeded to blade the wedge over the green, duff the third, and 3 putt for 6. And that's how the rest of the day has gone so far as well.

Edit-at the turn, asked for a double of Templeton neat. Guy asked if I wanted ice. Then proceeded to pour about 8 ounces in a cup. I'm willing to forgive the 3 dead fruit flies at the bottom.

I don’t have a shed, I built a large garage and put it in there. It’s basically like a bigger version of that video where I park my squad car. Has heat and air so you can play year round. Not counting any of that, just the sim I probably have around $15k into it. You can go cheap or crazy expensive. I’m in the middle.
