WHAT DOES HOLE IN ONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hole in one

Hole in one

In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one is when a player hits the ball directly from the tee into the cup with one shot. This is most possible on a par 3 hole. Longer hitters have accomplished this feat on shorter par 4 holes. Nearly all par 4 and par 5 holes are too long for golfers to reach in a single shot; a hole in two on a par five is known as an albatross or double eagle, and is significantly rarer than a hole in one on a par 3. Holes in one are extremely rare, and while it depends largely on the golfer's skill, there is often also a great element of luck involved, although skill definitely increases the probability. It is traditional for a player who has scored a hole in one to buy a round of drinks for everyone at the clubhouse bar. Occasionally special events host a hole in one contest, where prizes as expensive as a new car, or cash awards sometimes reaching $4 million are offered if a contestant records a hole in one. Usually such expensive prizes are backed by an insurance company who offers prize indemnification services.
