I think everyone agrees that a hole in one on a championship course is far more difficult than a hole in one on an executive or a P&P course.
But I find it amazing that so many people don’t even want to allow poor golfers the opportunity to play in a tournament where they can reach most of the greens in regulation.
It would be interesting to see how well the good golfers - who don’t have the length to play championship courses - would do in a short game tournament.
One hole in one? How many eagles? If I did a golf nom de plume, it would probably be golfing double bogeys.
