9 darter is way harder than a hole in one

sit around the club house of a golf course at a weekend and someone will be buying the drinks every no and then. Even duffers who have trouble hitting the ball can get that perfect 9 iron onto the green and into the hole

Famous Betting Coups: The Hole-In-One Gang (1991)
Paul Simmons and John Carter, two Essex men with backgrounds in the betting industry, researched the probability of a hole-in-one being scored in a professional golf tournament. They found that the probability was around 50%, or even money in betting terms. With this knowledge under their belt, they set out to find independent bookmakers who would offer them inflated prices on a hole in one being scored in five different tournaments in 1991. The tournaments were the British, European and US Open, the Volvo PGA, and the Benson & Hedges.
The pair secured prices from 33-1 to 100-1 on a hole in one to be scored at the five tournaments. They also placed a series of doubles, trebles and accumulators at prices much bigger than the true probability. To Simmons and Carter’s joy, at least one hole in one was scored at each tournament. Incredibly, they walked away with over £500,000.
