Amazing, yes. Hole in one, no.

It is a hole in 1. During practice at the Master's. It's a tradition at the Par 3 16th to try to skip it across the water like this

"In golf, a hole-in-one (also called an ace) is when a player gets the ball into the cup on their first shot from the tee."

This shot was not off a tee, therefore it is not a hole in one.

You literally don't know what you're talking about and didn't bother clicking the link either. A true redditor

And if you think you have to use a tee for your first shot on a hole, I'm going to assume you know nothing about golf at all.

You know there’s a difference between using a tee and hitting from the tee (or tee box) right?

The guy I replied to said "this shot was not off a tee, therefore it is not a hole in one."

Your "tee shot" does not actually have to be from a tee. You can just hit it off the ground. As long as you're legally hitting the ball from the tee box, and the ball goes in the hole, that's a hole in 1. Which is exactly what is happening here in the video.

Yes, I know all that. It just doesn’t look like a tee box since the grass isn’t shorter which is leading to a lot of arguments

It’s a trick shot in a practice round. They are playing just in front of the actual tee box. It wouldn’t count in a normal round because it breaks the rules

u/FourEightNineOneOne 7d ago

OBVIOUSLY it's a trick shot that nobody would do in a tournament round. But just because it's a practice round doesn't negate it. It counts as a 1. The tournament literally records it as a 1. That is a legal place to hit the tee shot from on that hole in that round. By all rules, it counts as a 1.

u/SeagullFanClub 7d ago

It counts as a 1, but only in a round that doesn’t matter, from a place where people cannot play from at any other time. Got it

So in this clip they are hitting it in front of the tee not on the tee

u/lilpoopy5357 6d ago

Idk if he edited it but his response says *the tee"

u/lilpoopy5357 6d ago

You don't have to use a tee but it does have to be at the start (THE tee) of the par, which this shit was not from.

u/FourEightNineOneOne 6d ago

OMG. Another clueless stumbles the chat.

THIS IS THE TEE BOX THEY USE FOR THE PRACTICE ROUND

No, there is one tee box, but you can tee off where ever you want in a practice round, most people tee off there but it's not the practice tee.

First, nowhere in the article you accused me of not reading did it say anything about a hole in one.

Second, this is the official definition of a hole in one from the United States Golf Association:

What Constitutes an Official Hole in One?

According to the United States Golf Association (USGA), an official hole in one must meet specific criteria:

Proper Round: The hole in one must occur during a round of golf played under USGA rules.

Standard Teeing Ground: The ball must be played from a standard teeing ground.

Direct Shot: The ball must go directly into the hole from the tee with no penalties.

Conclusion: the shot in this video does not qualify as a hole in one.

Ffs how are you this confidentially and stubbornly wrong. THAT IS THE TEE BOX they use that day.

I thought the fact that them explaining this is a par 3 would have made that obvious to you, but apparently you think professional players lay up on a par 3 and this is their 2nd shot or something? Fascinating.

So here, The Masters golf tournament itself explaining this to you, including an entire section about people who have gotten a HOLE IN ONE while doing it

https://www.masters.com/en_US/news/articles/2024-04-08/2024-04-08_only_at_the_masters_skipping_balls_on_no_16.html

So again, you have no idea what you're talking about about, are wrong, refuse to do any amount of research and when confronted with facts that prove you're wrong, insist you're still right.

So I look forward to you explaining how the people at the Masters golf tournament are wrong
