Assumed answers to unknown information:
Golfer plays 18 holes,
The only number of the balls are 1 through 9.

The answer is:
1 in 162 for each time he gets a hold ion one (18 * 9). This is 1 in 4,251,528 for 3 holds in ones (162 ^ 3).

However if her husband only used #1, #2 and #3 balls, the answer is 1 in 54 for each hold in one. This is one in 157,464

Now there is someone who takes figuring out odds seriously.
