I don't think that's how they calculate it. I bet they just say, for example, that X golfers played Y rounds last year. That means they played roughly Y * 4 par 3s. Take the number of aces hit that year, A, over Y*4, and you have a rough estimate of the likelihood of a randomly-selected golfer hitting an ace.

When I got mine, the first par 3 I played in the very next round (which was about 6 weeks later since mine happened in December), I landed a ball 1 foot in front and hit the stick finishing about a foot away.I got my first last summer after 40 years. It's pure, dumb luck for an amateur. A pro who can get closer to the pin shot after shot would be more apt to get one (better odds?) but luck still applies.

Yeah this is really hard. I hate sloped greens and the clown was hard too.:laugh: The clown's what always takes me down.
This is feasible, but the resulting data is almost useless. I guess they just really wanted a big number.
1 - lucky
2 - extremely lucky
and the other 30% are biased....70% of all statistics are made up. :laugh:
That's exactly what the guy said when they interviewed him.
