My basic mathematics study (not my greatest subject...) does not extend to advanced probability theory, but the chances of three holes-in-one at the same course on the same day must be astronomical.
In the mid 1990's at the Junior Invitational a junior hit two aces in one round. The first came on the fourth hole -- 230 yards. The second was to a severely elevated green on the eighth hole -- about 165 yards. Five yards off the tee it begins a steep rise to the green. From the tee, you can't see the flag when it's on the back half of the green.
That's very interesting. Thank's for the information. Free Republic must have a few golfers in its ranks !
Where is an expert Mathematician when you need one ?
I wonder if the odds are the same for one person hitting two holes-in-one on the same day, as two people hitting one hole-in-one each on the same day ? I reckon the odds would be influenced by the skill level of the golfer.
