It would help to get the rest of the story. Anybody can claim to have gotten a hole-in-one. Was the hole-in-one on video or were there credible witnesses?

I'll golf occasionally with some friends on an informal basis. If I ever got a hole in one, it would be beginners luck and there would be no way for me to validate it except for the friends that saw me make it. It's not like I have TV cameras following me around on the golf course.

A hole-in-one takes luck, but skill is also important. I have hit the flag, hit the flag shaft, hit the hole cup insert and rolled a bounce off of the flag at the hole insert. Never had one stay in the hole.

Was playimng a round witht he Oklahoma State Champion once and there was a closet to the hole riding bet for par threes. I put a shot four inches from the hole, and the Oklahoma State Champion got a hole in one rfght behind me in the same foursome! That guiy was so accurate that we used to tell him he had to play fairway shots out of his own divots from previous rounds.
