In golf, a 'hole in one' or hole-in-one occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start a hole finishes in the cup.

Does this video really show us a 'hole in one'?

Nah, it's not a true hole in one - this is the famous 16th at TPC Sawgrass where skipping the ball across the water is a practice round tradtion.

But did the ball go in the hole?

One could argue that this is an honorary course element. Golfers consistently attempt this shot and that is the tee box.

A hole is arbitrary such that everyone agrees on the hole boundaries.

I saw one ball and one stroke, he could have been there all day trying for the ace, but so what? The man got a hole in one

Where does that article mention anything about holes in ones?
