Getting a hole in one is such a rare feat, but when you are playing for a living, you know you have just jumped several guys on the Leaderboard!  

Personally, I have only had one hole in one back in 1976, so maybe I’m due pretty soon.   T.J. Auclair of PGA.com gives us a video account of 8 amazing holes-in-one during the 2015 season.  Be sure to check out #2, that was a miracle!

Throughout the course of a season, there are countless jaw-dropping shots executed by the best players in the game.

Many of those are, in a word, “perfect” — as in requiring just one shot from tee to green, a hole-in-one.

The 2014-15 PGA Tour season saw a total of 43 aces, including two each by Billy Hurley III, Andres Romero and Brian Harman (who had both of his in a single round!).

Here’s a look, with video, of my eight favorite aces from this past season.

8. Dustin Johnson on the 227-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Trump Doral in the third round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship, a tournament he would go on to win.

7. And, just three groups later, J.B. Holmes went and did the same thing on the same hole!

6. Check out Patrick Reed with a hole-in-one on the 188-yard, par-3 16th in the third round of the Shell Houston Open at the Golf Club of Houston. I can’t get enough of the fist pump.

5. Justin Thomas, who was a Rookie of the Year finalist, snagged his first ace on the PGA Tour with this beauty at the Greenbrier on the par-3 18th hole — a 175-yarder — in the opening round of the Greenbrier Classic. How cool is the commentary from Thomas? “Go in, please. Please go in.” Doesn’t happen often, but sometimes the ball listens.
