Played golf today as usual.
On a par three, one of my partners put his ball 18 inches from the pin. Mine landed six feet from it, rolled towards the pin, hit it and ended up six inches from the hole. So nearly a hole in one!
That would have cost me a bottle of whisky!
I've previously over time had two hole in ones in different years.
On the average golf course there are usually twelve par fours, two par fives and four par threes.
So in a round of golf you get four chances.
If like me, you play say, three times a week, you get twelve chances.
If you play fifty weeks in a year, that's 600 chances.
Ten years, 6000 chances.
Twenty years as I have done, 12,000 chances!
So a hole in one really isn't anything special.
You could say I ought to have had more.
In the same time scale, some will have had them and others never.
That's golf for you.
