The odds of an average golfer hitting a hole-in-one are estimated to be around 12,500 to 1.
Even professional golfers only have about a 2,500 to 1 chance. This makes it a truly special and memorable accomplishment.
I had never had an eagle on any hole but a par 5 until 18-05-2005 when I hit my drive on the 1st hole and wanted to use my 7 wood for my second shot and found I had left it at home so I used my 5 iron and holed my 2nd shot. On the 21-05-2005 I was about to play my shot at the par three which I usually play with a 7 wood and decided to use the 5 iron due to the success I had had the prevoius round and holed it. After 35 years it was a great experience. Don osbourn
