Of course.

It’s a no brainer.

Even if I lose I get better food and sleep than I get now.

No chance I take that chance. To put the odds in better perspective- I worked summers at a golf course cleaning clubs and maintaining carts from 9th grade into medical school. Every year there was a big tournament with a few hundred golfers, and the club pro would be stationed on the 18th tee for a closest to the pin challenge where each player could wager they would be closer to the pin with their shot than the pros. Hole was ~120 yard par three that played downhill in a protected spot with little wind. Never in my time at the course did the pro or any of the tournament players get a hole in one. Come to think of it, I can only think of one instance of someone getting a hole in one on that hole the entire time I worked there.

the difference is hitting the same shot over and over again. Those guys are getting one 'cold shot' and done.

I was more focusing on the club pro. Dude was a scratch golfer (granted nowhere near your caliber, but better than 99.9% of the population) and he stood on that tee three days in a row every summer hitting four balls with every group and never holed one out.

The drunk 30 handicap guys playing in the tournament were lucky to hit the green. The pro lost very few of those bets.

My coordination is terrible now and I would probably end up in that maximum prison forever for being a mouthy cow and getting into fights.

Fuck no.

my caliber is beneath the drunk 30 handicap guys.

You can wail away in prison with your roommate, 'Big Bubs.'

He was incarcerated for molestation of a dead horse.

Are you ambidextrous feet wise?

I'm left footed but used to train my right foot at every practice.

Not ambidextrous just trained.

My left arm is poor but I got my best run out at cricket with a pick up and throw with it. Probably more luck than judgement but I'd back myself to do it again with a thousand chances.

My line about hole in ones was wrong. It wasn't 12 years. It was 1991.

I must have read about it 12 years ago.

It's not as rare as you think.

There was a massive betting loophole that got closed about 12 years ago.

They really are not as uncommon as you think.
For someone like me who has played on and off throughout my life (I actually live on a course), I wouldn't even entertain the idea if you gave me 10,000 shots.

Dude. Imagine you have a half decent swing.

Someone sets up the ball each time so you don't have to bend down and alter your stance. It's a metronomic action.

I'd back you
