Or does a perfect hat-trick trump both of those for sporting excellence?
Got to give it to the dart player; got to be so accurate 9 times in a row. No margin for error. And even an average golfer can fluke a hole in one. |  |

I'm no golfer but my understanding is that most of the time players are aiming for a good spot on the green rather than the pin itself, plus external factors such as wind that you have very little control over once the ball is in the air.
Having said that I think a hole-in-one tournament with the top players could be quite interesting, to see how hard it really is when everybody is really going for it! |
I had a hole in one on one of the best courses in the UK - Woodhall Spa.
180 yard par 3. I scuffed my drive, it rolled along the narrow path, past two bunkers and up onto the elevated green. I didn't see it go in but there it was when I walked up to the flag.
Of course it's skill! |  |

I believe Shaun Murphy the snooker player has achieved the hole in one, the 9 darter and of course the 147. he rates th 9 darter as technically the hardest. 147s are commonplace now in both practice and tournament play. |

Yes, you are right, which is why opportunities are small - see earlier post.
But sometimes on a still day with a relatively flat green you can go for it. And rubbish players like me will not get anywhere near, but rarely it might all come together and you get close which is why golf is such a hard game and even with professionals in big tournaments they win a lot of money or a car or something if they do it. Great skill. | | | |
