I think it all depends on hole distance. but that seems pretty legit.

Im a low handicap and have 1 hole in one. 185 yard hole.

Was playing one morning and heard a cheer than another cheer. got up to the tee and the group in front of us said, "you heard that?" we said yeah hole in one?? guy said that dude had a hole in one then the guy right after him got a hole in one also. Back to back shots on that hole

Thats 1 in every 750 rounds, which is like once a year. The odds seem too low to me.

I've made two holes in one on the same hole, oddly enough playing with the same people both times.

(technically only one was a true hole in one. The first time, I topped a shot into the water, then aced it with my second for par.)

Is that supposed to be 15,000? That's a ridiculous difference if not.

a father and son in FortBend county each aced the same hole on Father's day earlier this year. there were several other witnesses including people on an adjacent hole that were not with their group.

For what it's worth, my dad played in a charity golf tournament a few years ago, where a Champions tour pro hit your tee shot on one of the Par 3s. The dude hit a hole in one for them. Said it was only his 3rd ever. Obviously, this guy isn't PGA good, but he plays a ton of golf, and he's pretty awesome.

When I got my hole in 1 it was 184 yards. The coolest part, it was in a 4 some and the scores were 1,2,3,4 in that order. I thought it was kinda funny.

Only hole in one Harry Vardon ever made in his life was his first swing after being in a Tuberculosis hospital for 3 years

My only "hole in one" ever was a par and I was playing solo so no one saw it anyway.

I guess the odds look reasonable. I've never gotten one. My father has gotten a couple. I think three or four

Had two guys at my club make albatross on par 5 on back to back shots. Something like 27M to 1 odds.

I find it hard to believe that tour players are making a hole in one every 167 rounds of golf. They are playing around 6-7 rounds a week. So about twice a year at that pace. That just seems pretty difficult to get that lucky
