sdandrea1 I still contend that there was some luck involved in the ball finding the hole.
The only time a HIO is luck is if it is off line and strikes some object that caroms it back into play and into the hole. Shithouse luck, I believe they call it.
Standing on a (ex.)150 yd. Par 3 hole, a person will pull the club they hit(maybe) 150. They are looking at the green and intend to hit the ball towards that green and cup. If it does go towards the green, and it goes in....HIO, that was an intended shot, no other way to look at it, esp. as "luck".
It just makes it that much clearer as to how many 'pure' shots we may hit in a lifetime. Golf.....is a bastard game.
