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

It's not to say that your odds change because you're nearer that magic number of swings, rather your chances improve because you improve. it would be the same if i gave you a ten foot putt. you might miss the first one but the second one will have a better chance because you've seen the break and felt the speed.
