Hole in One in Golf

In any type of sport there great records can take place. Without any exception this can be said about golf. One of the examples can be represented by such notion as hole-in-one. In American English hole-in –one is also known as ace and it can be defined as one of the sport events when a golf player hits the ball directly from the tee into the cup. This often happens on a par 3 hole. In other words the golfer uses only one attempt out of three which appears to be successful and therefore ultimate. It is nearly impossible to repeat on 4 and 5 par because they are too long. In this case a golfer really demands an exceptionally precise craftsmanship.

In the world of golf cases of holes in one represent an infrequent event. Not each golfer can brag that s/he disposes a great arsenal of established records. It depends in the first instance on the golfer’s skills and techniques used by him/her. Sometimes even good fortune may play a big role. During the major championships and golf tournaments the player who managed to hit the ball with one shot may receive a new car or a decent sum of money which sometimes reaches $ 4 million.
The chances of any golfer to make hole in one are very small. Out of 12 500 hits one can be finished by hole-in one. Now it is clear that such event takes place not so often. Among the most memorizable examples happened during British Open in 1973. At that time Gene Sarazen being a golfer of honourable age (71) made a hole-in-one.
It may happen so that even an amateur player can establish the record of this kind. In corroboration of this event the amateur player who made one-in-hole must present at least one person who has become the witness of this record. After that this game will be mentioned in the local sport newspaper.
