Probably not pole-worthy, so I'll just let whoever wants to respond do so:

About how many rounds of golf have you played, and how many times has someone hit a shot where nobody saw the finish and the ball ended up in the hole?

As a guess, I'll say I've played about 300 rounds of golf, and this has happened to me exactly zero times.

I have played at least 2,500 rounds. 90% of the people I play with are single digit handicaps. I have seen it happen twice. Blind shots. And never on a par 3.

I think it's happened a time or two, but I've played so many rounds I can't remember. The more I think about this story the more of an LOL it is. I'd feel for the woman's stupidity if it wasn't getting her all this worldwide press.

I've witnessed two holes in one - on the same hole, similar pin position - where nobody saw it drop. This is over 300-400 rounds in the last five years or so.

Thing is, both happened early in the morning when it was still kinda dark, the pin was behind a ridge and one time it was a little foggy. We could see the ball heading at the pin - it wasn't like these were wacky bounce-off-the-trees shots - but couldn't see it go in.

Neither one was mine, obviously.

It's also made up. 17 holes in one. Seriously, if you're going to lie about something like that, at least make it believable. Maybe start with 5 or something.

I think I've played well >1k rounds, and it's only happened to me once (never on a par 3), and I've only ever seen it perhaps once...MAYBE. Hell, I've only drained it from >70yds twice (both with a wedge between 90-110).

Woman from story is an attention whore obv.

There is no way you have so many mystery hole in ones.

I have no one in my time playing Golf, been close surely, but you need alot of those per hole in one.

Two rounds in a rowe, i have been inches from holing my spoon on second shot, on the same hole. Weird but nothing i can brag about.
