but no this is actually a true story so Frank Benzel Jr in the US Senior Open in Rhode Island he had two H holding ones on the same round back to back cuz one thing I did see when I kind of looked into it a little bit more as well he also had five Bogies on the front line he finished one over on the front nine with two hole in ones it must have been like the most random it must have been quite surreal that’s a very mat fry thing to do that isn’t it the odds of carding two aces in in the same round is 67 million to one there are no odds which can calculate backto back holding ones in the same round if there’s any math people out there to try it statistician try it it must be more than double yeah oh yeah 18 times more unlikely 17 times more unlikely

  3. the rarity comes less from the odds of a hole in one but from how few courses have back to back par 3s. There are two methods of calculating the odds due to the nature of the numbers provided by the PGA – 1/3000 for a single ace, 1/67'000'000 for a double – I can't make sense of the correlation so we'll divide the 67 million number by the number of cases a back to back can occur.

    There are six cases in which a double ace can occur. In three of them the aces are back to back (discounting the non par-3s between them)
    assuming all 4 par3s are back to back:
    1 in 134 million.
    assuming 3 back to back par3s:
    1 in 201 million.
    assuming only two of the par 3s are back to back:
    1 in 402 million.

    I can't find a number for how many courses have back to back par 3s but multiple the odds by the ratio of courses with back to back par 3s and you'll see why this has never happened before.

    NB my maths might be very wrong, it's 11 at night and I didn't think very hard about it.

  4. It’s funny I live in Rhode Island. Was playing a round when one of the guys I was playing with said it happened. Funny stuff, I think the odds would be even higher considering most courses don’t have 2 par 3s in a row.

  5. Well if you ignore the rarity of two par threes being back to back, or is the next hole driveable then you normally would just multiply the two fractions to get the probability.
    For professional golfers they reckon it is 1 in 2,500 for a hole in one compared to 1 in 12,500 for an amateur.
    So if my maths is correct it would be 1 in 6,250,000 for a professional in the simplest calculation . But I’m sure I am missing various factors
