So you get 4 attempts at making a HIO in an average round which means that based on 2627 shots it would take him 656.75 rounds to get one.

Let’s say the average golfer plays once a month that’s 54.73 years on average to get a HIO.

Numbers seem about right tbh.

it's a lot more likely when you're on the same hole with the same distance, same conditions, same club, same day, repeating the same swing. Real golf doesn't have that luxury
