About 15 years ago I got my first ever, hole-in-one here at the Carson Valley Golf Course. It was on the 18th hole.
I was playing with family, perfect witnesses as they would be the biggest non-believers, and after we finished we went into the pro-shop. We told the staff and they treated us like we were lying. Just nothing, and no help from the guy there in the pro shop.
I play in a golf league in Vegas now and got my second hole-in-one just a few weeks ago, 26 Aug 2019 (179 yds). They were awesome. They have a plaque on the wall of all who have accomplished this and have added my name to it. All the staff call me ace whenever I come to play.

You would think a president would have more etiquette than this and the Marshall told us he does this all the time. The golf course itself was a cool one, but if the men’s club is there as often as I was told, it will not be an...
   Read moreIt's my local weekly golf course. It has beautiful mature trees throughout each hole with a constant sierra nevada mountains range back drop. The fairways are straight with rivers running near so hit straight,lol. There is a 7 eleven after the 9th hole if your dehydrated by then. After 18th hole there is I believe the one of the best Basque restaurant in nevada ( the other is the JT). They have a great bar by putting green to reflect and amazing food. Thank you for reading this and enjoying this special...
