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.
Actually, it is quite humorous. I was playing a par 3, down hill 149 yards. I was only playing about 6 months. I used a 7 iron, dubbed the shot, it flew into the air, bounded down the hill towards the sand trap, hit a rock and jumped over the trap, went on the green and in the hole. There were about 5 groups that saw it. We all roared. Today I would use a 1/2 wedge.
