  • European Tour Originals presents the Chase The Ace Hole-In-One Challenge, episode 2. One day. 500 balls. And the aim? A hole-in-one. Sounds simple, right? The odds of an average golfer making an ace are roughly one in 100,000, while stats suggest a European Tour pro's chances are closer to one in 2,500. One year on from Edoardo Molinari’s valiant, emotional attempt in Italy and ahead of this week's Nedbank Golf Challenge, we asked three-time European Tour winner Brandon Stone to go a couple of thousand better. With a day and 500 balls to play with on a 184-yard par three, could he beat the odds and find that one, perfect shot? Here's what happened...

      Wrong technique. No use hitting "darts". Should hit a club or two longer, take off the gas and pitch in front letting it roll up to the flag; there is landing space there to do this. A ball rolling up the green has much more chance than one dropping on it, even with bad bounces. Anyone who practices chip and run shots will routinely hole many and know what I mean. The rolling ball "explores" more ground. As long as your not short every ball with enough speed to pass the hole has some sort of chance if remotely on line.

    When I was a junior at Centurion Brandon was pretty good on the mashie as a 6/7 year old. His father Kevin was the club pro. Hearing Brandon talk now, I hear Kevin's voice. The similarity is uncanny. He was a fierce competitor back then and pushed himself to try and beat is teenagers on the mashie, and sometimes did. Go Brandon. I hope you win some majors down the line.

But I raised over $10,000 by myself :)

      Normal.Nearly all hole in ones by amataurs are miss hit shots were they roll in the hole.I played for over 20 years.only ever came close was bad hit shot.Look at the par 3 challenge at the masters,they put the pin were the ball landing will roll towards the hole.On an elevated tee like this video.there is less chance,because the ball will not roll.

    I work with the Golf mags in the UK, we made a trip to Portugal with 5 players of differing Hcps just to make a hole in one. 1000s of golf balls were hit and not a single hole in one was made, just shows you how much luck is involved. Think how many shots you have ever played to par 3's and how many HIO's you have made... if any!!!! Impressive bacon strips from Brandon though.
