Swindon's finest the Howler grabs a hole in one in Dubai....how can you hit a little white ball nearly 200 yards over water into a hole the size of a Tea Cup :eek:
Look at the highlights if you want to see it.

Never fails to amaze me...for what it is worth he is coming back to form...good to see.

Is that Broome Manor member David Howell !

The odds of somebody getting a hole in one in a pro tournament are surprisingly low.

Luck
considering the whole point in golf is to get the ball closest to the pin so how can it be luck?

This is barely related to the thread, but, I went to watch an ice hockey game a few weeks back and my gf came out with an absolute corker.

"ice hockey is kind of a mix of football and golf, isn't it!"

I pissed my pants

Yes.

The actual odds of a tour player getting a hole in one are around 3000-1.

Its usually abot 14/1 at a bookies for a whole in one in a tour event...all four days that is.
A few years back a gang of punters were betting big and made a killing...so all the bookies are wary.

Whats gone wrong with this man.......gobbing on the green is plain disgusting.
Got a big fine but another incident that shows he has no class anymore.

This was the final round in Dubai this morning......Alvaro Quiros of Spain won.....in a round that had another hole in one,two eagles.............and a Tripple bogey eight on a par five.
