If you play a lot and are not completely hopeless, isn't this something which will happen periodically?

(cue ISIHAC joke:

A chap was playing a round when a funeral cortège went past them. He took off his hat and held it to his chest until it had passed, when his partner said "You are a most sensitive chap, I have never seen such a show of respect." Upon which the chap replied

"Well, we have been married 35 years!" )

That's an extraordinary distance for a hole in one and as the article says, possibly a national record. So no, it's not something that will just happen to an amateur golfer periodically.

In a pro-celebrity golf show. That Peter Alliss presented. Terry Wogan set a record for the longest putt made by an amateur golfer.
