Which would you rather have?
So I was thinking of this the other day with my father. My father has 5 holes-in-one & I have 7. So I have had the experience and excitement of a hole-in-one, multiple times, all under different circumstances. But for those player's that have never had one, it can be an experience unlike any other. Some people believe that having some skill increases your chances at a hole in one but let's be honest, there is a lot of luck involved as well. How many times have you heard of someone, or possibly yourself, skulling one off the tee, getting a ridiculous bounce and ends up going in. Anyone can get one.
Now a course record, that is a different kind of achievement that only a select few can claim. I can be honest and say that I'm a single digit handicap and I will NEVER come close to achieving a course record. Although wouldn't it be nice to hold a record for a period of time and say that you were the BEST EVER on that course? Now that's something to be proud of. Whether it's at your local muni or at a more well known course like St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, or Pinehurst #2 .... a course record can stand for a long time. But records are meant to be broken.
So which is your preference? What would you rather have and why?
