  • European Tour Originals presents the Chase The Ace 50/50 Hole-In-One Challenge, starring Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas.
    The odds suggest a Tour pro's chances of making a hole-in-one are roughly one in 2,500.
    In four previous episodes, we’ve given players 500 balls and an entire day to try to make an ace. However, to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates, this time we gave two of the world’s best players just 50 attempts each…
    Could they defy the odds to find that one perfect shot? A 148-yard par three at Abu Dhabi Golf Club awaits. Here’s what happened…

    Can we talk about the fact that JT stuck one inside a foot, immediately dropped another ball, and managed to get closer? Perfect example of why these guys are pros!

Especially in a situation like this where they deem everything outside a gimme as a "poor" shot. There's no way an amateur would be able to do what JT did to stick it within a couple of CM back to back.

    • @hughgurney8686
      @hughgurney8686 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's interesting how they seem to attribute their lack of success to something lacking in their own skill rather than it simply being a rare event (1 in 2,500) that will be difficult to achieve. The frustration seems to set in very early considering they've only hit 50 balls.

    • @geuros
      @geuros 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@hughgurney8686 well that's exactly how the brain works. If you set too difficult a goal it will become very frustrating which is why it's wise to take small steps. These are however pros and they have about the best chances to make this happen given 50 shots, but the exact same thing happens to them - they hit a lot of amazing shots they'd love to do in a tournament, but here they don't get that endorphin response because even though they were amazing, they were also failures at their goal.
