I think it's hole #16 or #15 at Augusta, something like that. It's a par 3 on the back where if the pin is in a certain spot the ball just funnels to the hole. I've got a couple hole and ones on that one on my golf simulator, but that doesn't really count. It's a weird hole, most holes you can hit 500 shots and have no chance. That hole with that pin you can get it like 1 out of 300 times on a good shot. Probably has the most hole in ones on avg per shot than any par 3 in golf major history. Seems like they always put that pin like that on Sat or Sunday for excitement. [Reply]
Lee Trevino started the tradition of skipping the ball on #16 on the practice round years ago.. I think a few players have made it that way too.. I read a article about it yesterday but can't remember where..
I have made one hole in one at a 135 yd par three at Liberty Hills # 4.. Course is now closed.. [Reply]

Yes. They set that hole up for players to try it exactly the way Rahm did. It's been made many times.
I'm not saying it's not an impressive shot, but it's certainly not the greatest play in golf history. Not even close, especially considering it being done during practice. [Reply]

It's 16. Mid back left allows for shots hit 20 feet right and 10 feet short to 10 feet long to funnel down to the pin.
15 is the longer of the par 5 holes on the back with water fronting the green and a shaved bank that grabs short approaches. [Reply]

True story.
Oh yeah? Well when I was 19, I did a guy in Laos with a rifle shot at a thousand yards in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at... [Reply]
