Question

In an average year, are there more players who hit a hole-in-one, or players who golf a round under par?

Answer 1

There are more players who golf a round under par.  About 95% of people who get a hole in one are really good (5% get lucky)... so it is likely that they will get a round under par if they are making a hole in one (so many hole-in-oners have a round under par).  And I know plenty of players who shoot under par who have never gotten a hole in one!

Answer 2

good question

Answer 3

You would think it would be more players shooting under par.  But it is interesting, I played golf in high school and played with a guy in a tournament who got a hole in 1 on a 200+ yard hole on his way to shooting a blazing 100!  He was a guy that could hit the ball far at times, but not consistent, but he got a hole in one, something that I, who used to take golf very seriously have never done.

Answer 4

hole in one definetley

Answer 5

Either the Dallas Cowboys or the Pittsburg Penguins

NO!!!! The Phillidelphia Phillies

Answer 6

In an average year, there are more holes in one made on most courses than there are rounds where a player shoots under par. So far, 2008 , at our country club with an April Start to the season, we have had 5 people make holes-in-one. There have been no rounds posted which are under par.In 2005 , with top amateurs playing two tournaments, there were 6 holes-in-one for the year compared to 2 rounds at par or better. One of those was at par.

Answer 7

Considering that 95% of golfers out there don't have a prayer in the world of shooting an entire round under par, myself included, I'd have to say that there are more holes in one, as that's really just a luck shot...even for the pros.  I haven't made one yet, but I've hit the pin a few times.  That's more than I can say for shooting under par, with an all-time best of 85...that's hardly the equivalent of hitting the pin.

Answer 8

easily people under par. go to ur local country club, when they have the mens league, there should be a handful of very talented players who will shoot at least one round under par week in and week  out

Answer 9

This is a good question. I would guess Hole-in-one, luck striking once I could see, but the average player breaking 90 is a big deal.
