been done many times - some par 4's are reachable. Obviously tremendous luck involved

Only, I would have thought, if it bounces on the fairway, is picked up by a seagull (other large birds are available) and dropped in or near the hole whereupon it rolls into the hole.

Kim Jong Il used to knock them in with clockwork regularity.

when seve ballersteros was playing in Yorkshire he was taken over to leeds to see if he could drive the full length of Roundhay park lake, which was considered impossible, I forgot what the result was

Birdie I think. Not sure if my driver was legal though.
Didn't ask to see his license  |

By:
I had the pleasure of having a drink off a chap who did it at Belton Woods, nr Grantham. Bloody big hit.
|
|
By:
although never considered a long hitter I once got home at a 354 yard hole using a 3 wood
admittedly there was a slight breeze(gale)helping and a rock hard links fairway! and yes i did 3 putt for par. |
|
By:
Yes I got one at Addington on a relatively short par 4 with a dog leg left so you couldn't see the flag from the tee. Past the green was a load of heavy rough and I spent 5 minutes looking for my ball before I had a look in the hole and there it was. The group ahead saw it go in. The next hole I sliced the ball out of bounds never to be seen again.

Drivable Par 4s are becoming an increasing feature of the game.
Iron off the tee for me though.  |
|
By:
Did it with a 1 iron at Dartmouth some years ago..
Not as uncommon as you may think. |
|
By:
happy Gilmour did it I think

By:
I did it on the Great Orme in Llandudno in 1964. Although only pitch and putt the holes were marked with the par.
|
|
By:
The next shot went the way of a lot of golf balls on there. Over the cliff edge.

Must have been back in your boxing days, no?
|
|
By:
Yes, I was 15. Did I ever mention my boxing days? Must have done. Damn dementia.
|
|
By:
Not that I recall, where did you used to box, Kenny?

Under the Rules of Golf, the bird is an outside agency and Rule 1.4 applies. It is most definitely NOT a hole-in-one. Have a nice day. |

By:
Fyffes bananas, pixie. Have you teed that up?
 |
|
By:
It's possible to achieve a hole-in-one on a par five hole, let alone a par four. Admittedly very rare (it normally has to be a severe dog-leg) the feat is known as a condor.
|
|
By:
Here's a link to a few reports of the elusive condor.

By:
I think Andrew Magee did it in a US tour event 10 or so years ago.
|
|
By:
I done it at Tinsley, Sheffield. Only 290 yds though
 Next hole a long par 4 I took 8  |
|
By:
I saw Kenny box. After a few rounds the trainer told him to let the other guy hit him with a few lefts.
"Why" asked a bewildered Kenny. "Because your face is becoming lop sided with all those right hooks" his trainer explained |
|
By:
I did it a few times on the Sega Mega-Drive.
|
|
By:
I can't get a hole in one on a crazy golf
|
|
By:
The holes around the turn at St. Andrews are reachable par 4s

I hit one to the front of a green at my dad's club it's 300 yards. I've never had a handicap or played properly but had clubs as a kid coz dad played.
I reckon if I played a bit more I could hit the green pretty regularly and after that it's all luck I suppose. In the event, I'd lost yet another PW so clumped a SW right over the green Not like they happen on par 3s coz people get their aim right |

Hitting a 300 yard drive is decent going creatureinthesky.
