The Greatest Hole in One Ever?

[CarpeDiem]

I saw this today and was wondering, how the hell did it do that!

Pure luck would be my guess.

Jammy.

My hole in ones were proper shots, at the pin. I know it takes luck, but that is just daft.

I remember seeing one 2-3 years ago on the euoropean tour, can't remember who it was, but they tugged their tee shot badly left into the tree's, it rattled around then came out, couple of bounces and in the hole...I think he won a car with it as well.

Jammy B******

No doubt it was lucky, but I want to know how that physically happened? How would a ball nestle down in the rough and then suddenly spin out.

I played at cobtree once and a rank hacker badly pulled his shot into a par 3, the ball hit the tree, ricocheted onto the green and into the hole.

Git.

Good Fortune !!

Looks like quite a slope behind the green so I guess the ball was nestling against the grass until gravity took over.

all the back spin? when it slowed down it fell out?

 

[TonyN]

Not as good as Jiminez's shot that went straight in the hole!

 

[Herbie]

Because the slope is so steep I would have thought it had something to do with the fringe height of grass being slowly compressed by the weight of the ball until gravity took over and it just fell. Back spin possibly but it was stationary there a little too long for me, but is possible.
May even have been a little unseen breeze down there helping it along.

I blame the gravitational pull of the moon.

But it was a sunny day murph
