This is What Happens When You Give a Pro Tour Player 500 Shots at a Hole-in-One

If you where given the chance to take 500 shots at a par three could you make a hole in one?

It’s an interesting question. I mean, for a par 3 the odds have to be in your favor if you tried the same shot 500 times in a row right?

Now think about how many times you have played the same hole at your local course and how many times your heart rate jumped when you approached the ball.

Did you hit the green every time? Did you stick it close? Did you ever have one in?

I know for me personally I have never had an Ace and I have only been close once. Now imagine if you had the skill set of a professional player. Could you do it then?

Andy Sullivan, a European tour player took on a the hole in one challenge at London Golf Club. The hole was a 171 yard par three with a down hill approach.

Getting a hole in one is hard enough but to do it on a damp, wet day it had to make it that much harder. Here in the United States we are blessed to have sunshine and warm weather for a good part of the year. Over in the UK that’s usually not the case from what I have heard and seen.

Andy approached the first shot ready to take on more than just the elements. A pure strike headed right at the pin and stopped a few feet short. A great shot if you’re playing a round but not when your entire objective is to make a hole in one within 500 shots.

Swing after Swing Andy peppered the green with shots that just barley missed going in. It has to be hard enough to make a hole in one while in a profession event. I cant imagine how hard it must be with a camera crew there with the sole purpose to watch you get it done.

Was he able to do it? Check out the video below to find out!
