The plural of hole-in-one.
It's hole-in-ones, not holes-in-one.
Multiple holes-in-one means multiple holes in just one shot ............................ not possible in my world.
Multiple hole-in-ones means multiple hole-in-ones, it's just that simple, surely?

Stupidly entering today's comp for 8.30.
I was in Japan when I booked it thinking "Back home mid afternoon Friday, should be OK"
Within four holes my left eye (weakest) has gone back to bed, my legs are fighting my trolley and my head has installed a mini roller coaster.
Slumped on settee at home, knackered, as I type.

Hmm
If I shoot the par 3 12th hole using one shot, I have achieved a ‘hole in one ‘ feat.
If I do the same on hole 15 and on hole 17 , I have achieved two more similar feats.
So
I have shot three ‘holes in one ‘ feats, —- or, for short,
Three holes in one.
No.?

My washing machine is knackered so I'm forced into using a laundrette in short term
Weirdly it's great getting three loads done all in 40 mins and getting my daily steps in round the carpark while the washing is gong round
Dunno if I want to get it fixed

Our kerb side recycling takes paper and plastics like milk cartons. However, if i take plastic to my community recycling - i cant put it into the recycling there - since it takes only paper. Plastics go into landfill !!! How bizarre.

No.
Hole is singular, therefore the plural is holes because one puts the letter 's' at the end, ergo 18 holes in par.
Hole-in-one is singular, therefore, as before, the 's' goes on the end to make it a plural, ergo hole-in-ones.
Merry-go-round becomes merry-go-rounds when there are more than one, not merrys-go-round, surely.

It’s holes-in-one for me, sorry.

Mothers-in-law rather than mother-in-laws.
The holes and mothers are the plural part. One is fixed, it’s the amount of holes that changes.

Pluralise the noun.
Merry-go-round in its entirety is a noun.
In hole-in-one, hole is the noun.
I think anyway.
