A HIO on a par 4 isn't an Eagle so its not the same is it..
Its still a hole in one......

I'm not saying they aren't just that the ones that go in involve luck and that holing out for a HIO is no better than holing out for ann eagle on a par 4 or 5
Its still a hole in one......
And as such is a much rarer beast - one worthy of the title, much like a 2 on a Par 5.
The principle is the same - it has the same effect on the scorecard .
What would give you more satisfaction - a HIO on a 125 yard par 3 or holing out for a 2 from 200 yards on a long par 4...?
the ace
Why?
You've still played the hole in as few shots as possible.....
The level of skill between holing a 2nd shot or 3rd shot is the same as holing the first shot
There is just nothjng that beats completing the hole is one single shot - the feeling is better , the kudos but getting it in the hole from anywhere requires skill just don't think it's right to dismiss good shots and put the result down to luck
no.... you did the par 5 in two....
no.... you did the par 5 in two....
I'm not and never have dismissed the good shots. I just think the difference between them going in and not is luck.
Where does the par 5 come into it?
125 yard par 3 in 1 and 450 yard par 4 in 2
But if the person hitting the ball can't reach the par 5 in one, but holes it in two he has used the fewest number of shots possible.

Hi Steven Hawkins when did you take up golf?There's no such thing as a perfect shot. It's known that a robot can't hit precisely the same shot twice, chance always has to be a factor. How you make chance smaller (and the intended outcome larger) is a skill but chance never goes away.
If you keep minimising chance to near zero, quantum physics would kick in and would mean you can't ever predict the outcome of the intended shot.
Worse still, if you were a golfer called Schrodinger, you might never know if the ball was in the hole. So in in theory, every shot ever played in golf is a hole in one until its observed that it isn't.
