Mathematical Improbability.......An Ace On Every Hole

  Someone posted a  CCTH scorecard showing an ACE on every hole, at first I was astounded, but it has bothered me all morning now. Not that I am accusing anyone of anything, something for which I have and will never do but I want to know what the the probability of this happening is. I know there are so math whiz's on here so tell me what the odds are on this.

  Is this just me or is anyone else curious about this ?

  Well he is good at photo shopping as well as golf. LMBO!

  Still curious about the mathematical probability...

  CTTH odds = who knows..Not all tee shots..But golf digest published these odds a while back.............

   

  The Golf Digest study provided many great nuggets of information, even breaking the odds down by quality of play:

  • Tour player making an ace: 3,000 to 1
  
  
  • Low-handicapper making an ace: 5,000 to 1
  
  
  • Average player making an ace: 12,000 to 1

   

  Some other highlights from Scheid's calculations:

  • Average player acing a 200-yard hole: 150,000 to 1
  
  
  • Two players from the same foursome acing the same hole: 17 million to 1
  
  
  • One player making two holes-in-one in the same round: 67 million to 1

  i'd say it was highly unlikely.

  i'm willing to scale the empire state building naked and nail my bollocks to a flagpole at the top if someone can hit 9 consecutive aces.....even on ctth's.

  It's not possible. Simple as that.

  However, My friend and I holed out #1 OAK back to back shots from outside 150 yards. Unlikely hole to do it at too

  If he was that good at photoshop he wouldn't have forgotten to change the tee color on his "Legend 27" card. Oops, last time I checked it's not possible for CC owners to select tees for CC tournies, so if it was a "Legend" 27 in a country club tournament as the card says, it would have been from black tees, not blue :)

  I saw two guys in blitz get aces on the same hole a while back.

  I had a nice piece of beef with some freshly cooked vegetables and a lovely peppered sauce.
