The European Tour has made several videos showing players, including Robert MacIntyre and Shane Lowry, attempting to make a hole in one on a par 3 with 500 balls. A member of the Alps Tour, Augustin Holé, has also tried his hand at this game.
In a well-made video, we can see the member of the C&S Golf Team chaining shots on the par 3 of the 15th of the Utah Beach Golf, in the Manche. The golfer from Cherbourg (50) also discusses the self-sacrifice necessary in this kind of challenge, but also in the professional world. The video was filmed on June 6, 2024, the 80th anniversary of the landing.
The winner of the 2023 Alps Tour final had participated in 2021 in a captivating documentary on the behind the scenes of a player on a satellite circuit.
So, did he succeed in the challenge? The answer can be found at the end of the video!
The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee, made up of members of the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years. The latest revision was effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding of the Rules and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance. The rulebook, entitled "The Rules of Golf," is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals.
