Personally I’ve seen golf balls hit the hole and bounce a couple feet away. We also found a ball in the hole when we didn’t actually see it roll in because of the hole location to the tee box. Yes, there definitely is some luck involved but as the old saying goes “the harder you work the luckier you get”. Just saying...

if the ball goes into the cup with one swing it's a hole in one
what I don't get is if a golfer makes another why isn't it called a "2 fer 2"
if it happened a third time...use the hockey term "hat trick"
a forth time..."a grand slam" (although the golfing world will have to get approval from Denny's on this one)
if it happened a fifth time "hey I shot a whiskey bottle today"
a sixth time would be referred to as "I shot a six pack"
you see where I'm going with this, right....heck during the Christmas season we could become festive and use the language from the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
this would be far more descriptive of what the life time achievement is for any golfer...think of the different trophies that could line the mantel...and it actually sounds more macho, even if you are wearing a flamingo colored shirt, a pair of lemon yellow shorts and a purple hat band when you get your picture in "da paper"
