Hole in One! On a Par 4!
Not me, but a guy hit a hole in one on a par 4 on a course from my hometown.
Bryan had reached the green once, maybe twice, he says, but on this occasion he was just trying to get the ball close enough for a chip at eagle.
"After I hit it, we all knew it was a great tee shot," Bryan said. "We had to walk over to the left side of the tee box to see it land. I didn't see it, but the guys in the group saw it land and mentioned that it might make the green."
Bryan watched the green where the group ahead was putting.
"One of the players on the front of the green raised his arm," Bryan said. "My first thought was, 'Oh, no ... I rolled it up on them.' Then all four players raised their arms and at that point I realized it probably rolled in for a one."
His fears of hitting a player fell away as he realized he might have accomplished one of the sport's rarest feats. Golf Digest says the odds of an average player making an ace on a par 3 is 12,000-to-1, and 5,000-to-1 for a low handicapper.
That's for a par 3.
