Famous holes-in-one have occurred throughout golf history, often during high-profile tournaments or by notable players. Here are some memorable ones:

1. Tiger Woods (1997 Phoenix Open)

Tiger Woods' hole-in-one on the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open is one of the most famous in golf history. The 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale is known for its rowdy crowds, and Woods' ace caused an eruption of excitement from the spectators.

2. Gene Sarazen (1935 Masters)

Gene Sarazen's double eagle, often referred to as "the shot heard 'round the world," was technically not a hole-in-one but a double eagle (albatross). However, it's one of the most famous shots in golf history. Sarazen holed his 4-wood from 235 yards on the par-5 15th hole, helping him win the tournament.

3. Tom Watson (1980 British Open)

Tom Watson's hole-in-one on the 6th hole at Muirfield during the third round of the 1980 British Open is another iconic moment. Watson went on to win the tournament, securing his third Open Championship.

4. Rory McIlroy (2015 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship)

Rory McIlroy made a memorable hole-in-one on the 15th hole during the second round of the 2015 Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. It was McIlroy's first hole-in-one as a professional golfer.

Ewen Ferguson won the BMW International Open for his third European tour title -- and clinched a spot in The Open taking place in his native Scotland this month.

Continuing our trend of bringing varied opportunities to the MyGolfSpy Forum community, we have one that brings the golf course and your game to your living room with GOLF+ and the world of virtual golf.

About GOLF+ 

GOLF+ is the official VR golf game of the PGA Tour. Take a stroll through St Andrews, test your game at Pinehurst No. 2 or immerse yourself in the raucous excitement of the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. GOLF+ offers daily tournaments, a variety of multiplayer modes, 20 different real-world courses (and counting) and physics engineered by tens of thousands of real-world swings. GOLF+ is built BY golfers, for golfers.

The Testing Opportunity 

We are searching for three golfers to test and review the full GOLF+ experience. GOLF+ is available exclusively on the Meta Quest platform. Don’t have a headset? Not to worry. Testers will receive a Meta Quest 3 headset as well as a golf club controller attachment to bring the game to life.

For this testing opportunity, we want golfers to not only review the product and its features but also to compete against each other in tournaments and matches with members of the GOLF+ team.

We want to know how this virtual experience compares to your real-life experience. Can it take the place of a weekly round if the weather isn’t cooperating? Can it help provide accurate feedback on your swing and even improve your game?

While we all love the opportunity to test and review golf clubs and other equipment, there is little more that can make us happier than seeing our kids enjoying the game we are so passionate about. This is where this testing opportunity is focused. While we don’t expect the kids to do the writing or full review, we do want to get golf clubs in their hands to see how their game can improve and for them to express their thoughts. More importantly, we want to see them enjoy the game with clubs they have fun hitting.

The Testing Opportunity

This testing opportunity is brought to the MGS Forum community by All Kids Golf, founded in 1999. They offer custom-built junior clubs online and a full suite of clubs, apparel, accessories and games for kids of all ages.

All Kids Golf is focused on customer service, quality, selection and, importantly, price to enable more kids to enjoy the sport. For this testing opportunity, our selected junior testers will be reviewing a set of Lynx Ai Junior Golf Club Sets.

These sets offer everything a budding junior golfer needs to get started with the game. Available for kids ages three and up to later teens. The sets are available in three-, four-, five- and seven- club sets, the Lynx Ai Golf Set also includes a bag.

Do you think your child would be a perfect tester? We want feedback on how these clubs fit your child’s game. How they fit and feel and if they help improve your child’s passion for the game.
