I make a hole and create Geometric Tolerance in model, such as 3/8-16 UNC -2B TAP THRU 5/16 DRILL (0.257) .0750 - (1) HOLE. I only can put GTOL as a free note in drawing as shown below

Is there a method to place to a hole note directly?

Thanks,

I'm attaching a ppt on how I like to do it -- you add the gtol as a free note but then go back and include it in the thread note. It's clumsy but it gets the job done.

It looks like you created a note without any &dimension or &ad dimensions. Add a shown dimension or created dimension to your note. Then you can attach the GTOL to that dimension. I suggest adding one of the depth dim's to your note. Could look like: depth &dxxx or &adxxx. Also make sure your Detail Config has "gtol_dim_placement" set to "on_bottom" which is default.

You can apply the GTOL feature control frame to the hole dimension (even for standard table drive holes) in part mode, and this would be widely considered as best practice even if you are still using 2D drawings created in Creo. This is done within the annotation tab. You can show the annotations including the GTOL in the drawing views as required.
