Transcript

This photo has the entire golf world in a massive debate. So we're gonna settle the debate right now. Is this a hole in one? Let's set the scene. You get up to a par 344 yards. Your boy pulls out a pitching wedge, eight iron, nine iron, four iron for all I care. Strikes it. It looks good. It's tracking the entire way. It lands, and you lose sight of it from the tee box. But once you get up there, this is what you see. What are you writing down on the scorecard? A one or a two? One side's gonna say it's a two because it's not in the bottom of the cup. And yes, that is true. It's not in the bottom of the cup. And then the other side's gonna say, yes, it's a hole in one because if you were to mark that ball, fix that divot, and then place the ball in the exact spot, it would fall into the hole. And then some people are gonna bring up USGA rules and logic, and that's not any fun. So what we are gonna do in this comment section, we are going to decide, as a golf community, if this is a hole in one or if it's not. And just so you have my opinion, if you worse out playing a round of golf with your boys and this happens, and you consider writing down a two, I know you use a silencer bag and iron covers.
