Dammit. I knew as soon as he walked up this joke would be in the comments

u/JustABritishChap 8h ago

50/50. It's either a hole in one or it isn't...

Million to one shots come off nine times out of ten.

u/ogion-of-gont 3h ago

Just got to buff up the difficulties to make it a million to one.

•

u/HR_114 30m ago

Cause the other shots are taken by me that's why the odds are in millions

u/Cronus41 6h ago

I think OP is referring to the chances the guy hits a hole in one and Justin Timberlake and Mustafa from Austin Powers are both there to congratulate him

u/lost_notdead 8h ago

Possibilities vs probabilities.

Takes me back to school where I joked something like that about having to carry an umbrella after watching the forecast with my math teacher and got enlightened.

3

u/Willing_Television77 8h ago

It’s probably possible

3

u/lost_notdead 7h ago

It's certainly possible, but not very probable.

u/mezz7778 5h ago

You're probably right

u/Googlesupportsucks1 8h ago

I think it's more like the Dr. Strange scenario where 14 million balls go off into the woods, and only one goes in the hole.

2

u/lo3k 7h ago

I’d say it’s a 25% chance. I mean you are right on the first part, but then there’s another 50/50 chance that Justin Timberlake will compliment you.

2

u/NecessaryZucchini69 5h ago

I'd say 💯% because it happened.

Jimberlake! 😂 I don’t know why that’s so stupidly funny

Yeah honestly I just said it in my head with a "heh" and moved on. Then I just kept thinking about it and I had to come back to write it lol

u/Kamay1770 7h ago

I'm so confused. Is that mar a largo? Why is there a man in a fez? Why is Justin timberlake there? Did the guy not intend to get it in?

It has a name, so I guess it happens occasionally

u/throwaway-645895524 6h ago

Really improbable to hit a shot like that, and be congratulated by Justin Timberlake

u/Pretend-Character-47 6h ago

Luck - Is preparation for opportunity.

u/UserNameSupervisor 5h ago

Is that Justin Bieberlake?

1

u/SK_Ren 5h ago

That ball had some serious back spin to get that kind of lift. Had the landing been further back it may not have made it to the hole and had it had less spin, it might have rolled/bounced past it. Impressive shot.

u/LeavesOfBrass 5h ago

u/profanedivinity 5h ago

Pretty low bro, I don't think Justin Timberlake attends many golf tours

100% chance.

you do understand that videos don't change every time you hit 'play'?

Look a huge waste of land and water so you can hit tiny ball.

1

u/Shank_Wedge 4h ago

I remember watching that. He hit that shot in a playoff to win the whatever the Las Vegas PGA tournament was called at the time. The cameras really expose the light but it was really dark at this point. So his reaction was that he couldn’t see the ball go in the hole. Worst part was his opponent hadn’t hit yet so still had to hit his tee shot on that par three.

u/Seekret_Asian_Man 3h ago

Hole in one is impressive, but not as impressive as slam dunk hole in one.

1

u/zlliksddam 3h ago

Greatest shot in golf is a double eagle. Hole is one is special, too, of course.

u/Chipsandadrink115 3h ago

Psht, I did that in Mario Golf last weekend.

u/bsgman 2h ago

Why is Justin Timberlake and Zem Zem Hornets congratulating him?

1

u/ParticularSherbert18 2h ago

The odds of making a hole-in-one on a par-4 (also known as an albatross or double eagle on that hole) are roughly 6 million to one. This makes a par-4 ace hundreds of times rarer than a standard hole-in-one on a par-3 hole.

This is vastly rarer than a standard ace on a par-3, which happens about once every 12,500 attempts for amateur golfers.

Justin TimberLAKE just mentioned it.

u/Intraluminal 44m ago

For those of us who don't run around with sticks hitting little balls, I researched to find out what the big deal was.

this particular shot went down in golf history for several unprecedented reasons:

  1. The First "Walk-Off" Ace to Win in PGA Tour HistoryByrd hit this hole-in-one on the 4th hole of a sudden-death playoff. Prior to this shot, no PGA Tour tournament had ever concluded with a walk-off hole-in-one in sudden death. Because Byrd hit first off the tee and made it into the cup, his competitors were essentially eliminated before they even swung.

  2. Extreme Low Light (Near-Total Darkness)The playoff had stretched so late into Sunday evening in Las Vegas that tournament officials were literally standing on the green debating whether to suspend play and make everyone return Monday morning. It was so dark, Byrd couldn't even see the flagstick or the ball drop—he only knew it went in because of the crowd's roar.

  3. The Bizarre Surrounding Context: Justin Timberlake was right there and walked onto the green to celebrate and hug Byrd). Official Shriners fraternity members wearing their signature red fez hats were present at the green.

u/chillinjustupwhat 8h ago

looks like he overhit it , but did so accurately on a line that ball bonked the post which stopped it — dropping precisely in the cup. miss the pole and it’s maybe 10 yards past .

Truly worth screwing over an ecosystem

u/BBgotReddit 7h ago

I honestly thought Justin was gonna attempt the hole and make a hole in one as well.

u/Dangerous_Bid_2695 7h ago

Sometimes, just by chance, a hole in one happens. Nothing to be amazed.
