Hole in one easiest for average Joe punter with no better pre-achieved skill in any discipline
The nine darter is next easiest followed by 147 which is about 50 times harder than a nine darter to achieve for average person. I fact I would say your average Joe will never ever be able to get a 147, whereas a lot of practice might get you a nine darter and if you play golf long enough even at a relatively poor standard you probably will get a hole in one even on a normal par 72 course with average four par 4's per round.


Now, this is over folks, nothing more to debate here

I would say that holes in one on par fours are quite a rarity.

FWIW I've played single-figure handicap golf for over forty years and never had an ace.

at last an honest golfer. i cant believe all the hole in ones here and yet on the tours the car for a hole in one rarley gets won by the best 100 players in the world having either 2 or 4 goes at it week in week out

Hole in one is approx 5/4 in any given tournament, another poorly thought out post.

Remember the 'Hole in One Gang'? I'm sure some here do.

180 requires more skill due to the fine nature of the skill.  You must hit a small target area repeatedly with each attempt becoming progressively more difficult.  There is very little luck involved.

The hole-in-one requires huge amounts of luck in my opinion as it is a matter of hitting the ball into a general area (skill) and allowing the undulations of the green to send the ball home (luck).

The skill level involved in scoring a 300 in bowling depends on whether you had the bumpers.

odds of a pro getting a hole in one 2500-1 -- probability of him not - .9996

4 par on course 120 golfers round 1 and 2 60 golfers round 3 and 4, so 1440 attempts in tournament

.9996^1440 = .56  (prob of no hole in one)

So 5/4 pretty much correct if 2500-1 is correct.

Wouldn't call it an artform tbh.

Ouch mate, you must run terribad, surely with laws oif physics, gravity and averages somewhere along the line you could have notched an Ace.

I've holed a few full shots, just not on par-threes.

I have amateur friends who have had four or five aces.

Does it pain you that you don't have one? Do you feel theres no justice in this game or it's no big deal?

Still hopeful, and still playing fairly well and hitting it close every now and again.

It's not something I think about every time I tee it up on a par-3, but I would love to get one.

i dunno about you but i am pro at darts and snooker and bowling

[Acidmouse]

Played Darts pissed for first time in years last month and hit a few 140's, played golf over 1000 times and not got a hole in one

[EvilPie]

in fact, from the pba website

CONSECUTIVE 300s
3, Norm Duke, over two rounds (North Brunswick, NJ, April, 10, 1996)

only once ever in pro bowling has someone bowled 3x300 games and that was 15 years ago!

Try a different website.

The USBC has loads more than the PBA.

http://www.bowl.com/news/xmlburner.jsp?xa=./webapps/ROOT/news/main/data/032610900Series.xml

I likened it to a 147 because I'd guess there's a similar number of recording or authorised 147s
