It's Just A Par Three

Forget pitch and putt - this tee-off point on top of a 1,410 ft. mountain in South Africa is the hardest golf shot in the world, and more than $1 million awaits the player who can score a hole in one.Players must take a helicopter to the top to play the longest and highest par three on the planet.

Taking the shot also requires courage. A player needs to teeter terrifyingly close to the edge of the mammoth hillside. Indeed, the Extreme 19th Hole is so high the ball takes almost 30 seconds to reach the ground.Channel Nine cricket commentator Mark Nicholas recently joined an elite list to have the shot in just three swings.

Hole In One Accomplishments

Jim Semple of Oakville, , Canada

Achieved a hole-in-ones on 2009-10-12 @ WHITE OAKS GOLF CLUB located in Oakville, ON, Canada

Hole: 7 | Length: 150yrds | Club Used: 7-Iron

Just hit my first Hole-in-One yesterday! I am a mediocre golfer ...just picked up the game in June 2008 and only recently broke a 100 with a best ever score of 90. Even a blind squirrel can find the occasional nut!.

My friend and I decided to take our Sons out for a Canadian Thanksgiving foursome of Golf. The 7th hole at White Oaks Golf Club is a Par 3 with a deep gully in front and trouble behind so my friend and I were commenting we will need to be accurate. I pulled out my 7-iron and hit it pure. My friend commented that he thought I was going to go over the back but I noted "I don't know ...it got a lot of vertical I think I'm going to be okay. The ball came down almost vertical and looking at the ball mark it hit about 8inches behind and to the left of the hole. From the tee it was a 2 stage celebration ...I saw the ball hit the green right by the pin and was raising my hands then we saw it trickle then drop from sight. Our shouts had the foursome on the nearby tee ducking as they thought we were shouting "fore"!
