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.
