Let's Talk Golf!

Golf is probably the most mysterious game of all and is pretty unique in many aspects. First and foremost it is a game that involves a static ball. In most other games the ball is moving at a high speed and the participants either have to hit, catch, kick, dodge, steer or guide it somewhere. There are no two golf courses that are the same, and all golf course are altered daily by moving the teeing ground and or moving the pin location. No two shots ARE EVER the same. Participants have an array of up to 14 clubs to choose from for each shot. It is a game where the partcipant is the referee. The game relies on the honesty of each golfer to ensure the rules are adhered to. How unique is that? Golf is played year round - weather permitting. There are only 34 rules in golf. These 34 rules and the various definitions cover any situation that may arise in the course of a round of golf.

Hole-in-One Twice?

A point to debate.
I have during the course of my golfing career had a hole-in-one on two separate occasions. Obviously I am rather proud of these two fluke shots and the subject has come up on numerous occasions in the past.
What I would like to know is does one say:
"I have had two holes-in-one" or "I have had two hole-in-ones"?
My argument is for the latter as I have never had "two holes" in one. This implies that my ball went into two seperate holes with one shot.
The latter sounds correct to me as it describes the experience as a "hole-in-one" and I have had 2 of these.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think you are just showing off.
But I agree with the "two hole-in-ones" theory
