Hole in one

In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one (also known as an ace, mostly in American English) occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start a hole finishes in the cup. Holes-in-one most commonly occur on par 3 holes, the shortest distance holes on a standard size golf course. Longer hitters have also accomplished this feat on longer holes, though nearly all par 4 and par 5 holes are too long for golfers to reach in a single shot.^[1] While well known outside golf and often requiring a well hit shot and significant power, holes in one need also a significant element of luck. As of January 2021^[update], a condor (four under par) hole-in-one on a par 5 hole had been recorded on five occasions.
