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...

I agree, but I really don't care.

I do however thing that if a ball is resting against the PVC pipe there can be no other conclusion than it would have been in the hole if not for the pipe. If a ball simply hits the pipe and bounces off, one cannot come to that conclusion.

If you believe that you got a hole in one and want to report it, go ahead and get your certificate. It really doesn't affect anyone else.
