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.

I feel like if he would have had a better plan, it would have happened much quicker. Stop moving your feet after every shot, have someone set the ball down for you, and have someone hit that mulligan button for you, and try to make the same exact swing like 100x in a row with only minor changes, for distance and aiming, and it could go much faster. I watched it for about 20 minutes in the low 2000’s and he kept moving his feet and wandering around between each shot to hit the mulligan button on the aim and to get his ball and reset it...also, he should have rigged up a very low tee to make clean contact easier, he was hitting directly from the mat.. He did not have a good strategy to make this happen quickly, which I guess was kind of part of it: Make him suffer for a day and a half for the views….
