Which is more rare: a hole in one in golf, or bowling a 300?

Best Answers

You can't accidentally bowl a 300. In golf, even the blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut. Parker Bohn III has 85 perfect 300 games in a 24 season career. Total of all USBC sanctioned perfect 900 series: 21 total, from 20 bowlers. Odds of a hole in one: Average player: 1 : 12,000. Low handicap: 1 : 5,000. read more

If the odds of a pro bowler rolling 300 in a game are 1 in 500 and the odds of a pro golfer sinking a hole in one are 1 in 2,500, Then the likelihood in any given game is GREATER for a golfer who theoretically has 18 chances each game (18-hole rounds of golf) to hit the hole in one. read more

My bowling average is 215 and I have bowled 3 300 games, hold a 4 handicap in golf and have never had a hole in one (just not lucky enough, been within 1" of the hole on several occasions but no hole in ones). read more

Golf Digest has not calculated the odds of making a hole-in-one and bowling a 300-game, but they've been calibrated separately. We have the odds at 12,000 to 1 for an average player making an ace. It's 3,000 to 1 for a tour player and 5,000 to 1 for a low-handicapper. read more
