There NEEDS to be a follow-up video where Keffer doesn't leave the course until an ace ⛺ Prove if it's easier than the simulator! I'll even wager he does it within 1000 attempts.
I've seen a YT'er hit 500 misses. But then another fellow got one on his 231st shot. He was going to hit 500 as well, but didn't have to. Miguel Angel Jiménez had two in one round.
I love how throughout the video they would bleep out the cursing but when he finally gets the ace the “LETS FUCKING GOO” wasn’t bleeped 😂 fucking great
Someone pointed out my swing getting shallow once, I realized that when I get physically tired I tend to stop lifting the club up as much as I should. You can see that in your video really clearly, the difference between the swings at 7:45 and 8:00. Probably explains a lot about why the shots get less consistent over time than you would expect, just physically wearing out.
This was beyond entertaining to watch. When I saw it was Keffer being put up for a challenge, I knew he wasn't giving up until the job was done. Way to go Keff, awesome accomplishment!
I don't know if this has been done before, but this is probably one of the coolest golf video ideas I've ever seen, and you executed the video really well!
The frustration of losing your swing is real. Today I hooked every shot and I thought it was my grip but then when I got home I did a practice swing and realised I was probably swinging my club completly wrong. I felt like I had never played golf before
What you said about hitting hundreds of balls being the opposite of dialed in is so true. I have made the mistake on the range of going back for a second bucket of 100 balls because I sense I am on the right track but have gone backwards fast. It seems like you managed to clear your head, make the right change to the pin placement, recover your positivity, and get the job done. Great job.
This type of thing is common for basically every activity. There is a warm up period, a sweet zone if performance, and then a deterioration, followed by cycles of regrouping and deterioration, where as time goes on the sweet zones become shorter and farther apart. Taking breaks helps reset you back to the earlier mindset that results in longer and more frequent sweet zones. I don't golf, I'm just here for the interesting video idea, but I've experienced this in literally every other activity (playing instruments, competitive gaming, solving puzzles, etc.)
i'm glad you discovered that the best way to make a hole in one is with a rolling shot. so many people hit these big high shots that drop and stop, those won't go in. you gotta roll it up. it's why so many shorter hitters get holes in one. they hit a lower shot that rolls up and the hole gets in the way. hitting high shots with spin cripples your chances.
You should of had a Fitbit or whatever everyone is wearing that keeps track of your heart rate. I'm sure hitting that many balls for that long it took years off you life. 💯😂 well done again. 🍻
I have done this twice on my sim. The key is to find the right par3. Also play one club higher with 75% swing. This way you get more roll. Unless you can rip back your shots 6 ft, its almost impossible to get a lucky HIO. Its better to take a club with less spin and have it roll to hole. The more the ball rolls on the green, the more chances of getting lucky.
True, at my home club we have a 120 yard par 3. If there's no wind a I normally hit a gap wedge and it's a pretty receptive green so it stops dead. I always seem to get a better result on that hole generally if I hit a soft pitching wedge.
I feel your pain. I've had two hole in ones on a Skytrak but when I did a hole in one challenge, couldn't make one to save my life. Had to give up and come back another day to get it. Had a shot the other day that stopped 8" away on the right track and felt just like you did on the lip out. Congrats and enjoy it!!
I've played golf at a pretty high level for 50 years (by high level, I was a scratch golfer for about a decade and have had a single digit hdcp for most of those 50 years), and I've NEVER had a hole in one on a regulation golf course. HOWEVER...I have holed out twice from over 200yds, one from about 210yds on a long par 4 and one from about 230 on a par 5 for a 3 (after hitting drive in the trees and punching back out into the fairway). I've had plenty of hole outs from the fairway from various yardages...just never on a f'n par 3. 😏
Bro! True story, Keffer caddied for me in a U.S. open qualifier a few years ago…. His FIRST time ever at a golf tournament and on a golf course. On the 2nd hole a playing competitor made a hole in one. Everyone’s all clapping and excited and keffer looks at me and says, “yo, does this not happen often?” 😂😂😂
The swing that finally got the hole in one had a much more controlled (slower) and shorter backswing and you were hitting down on the ball much more resulting in a straighter shot . Could see you were going to get it towards the end when comparing it to your efforts on day 1. Probably the best individual golf lesson anyone could give themselves as you were forced to correct a lot of your swing through trial and error. Oh and congrats on the hole in one 😁
My 16 year old son took up golf last year, got his first hole in on on Augusta 12th and his second on TPC sawgrass 17. Some cool holes to have hole in ones on. I also got my first hole in one on tpc 17. That is probably the easiest to get a hole in one on as if you hit that hill in the right spot in funnels down to the hole. We both got hole in ones on 17 on same day. Lots of high fives and yelling. Good times
The first time I ever went miniature golfing when I was a kid I got a hole in one on the second hole. I was so happy. It's been over 20 years and I don't think I've ever gotten an ace in mini-golf since. Similar thing happened the 3rd time I went bowling. Got 7 strikes in a row. Then got 2 gutter balls and then only 3 pins on the final frame.
I have a sim in my garage. The sudden string of shanks when you are trying to make micro adjustments . . . and then completely lose it . . . yea . . . I can relate to that . . . it hurts.
I think I've made maybe 4 on my sim but they were all pitch and putt so nothing over 120 yds. I did win a Foresight closest to the hole recently from 175. Hit a 7i to around 10"
At 9:17, your frustration really hits home. Different story, but in some of my videos I’ve had a trouble getting something running or making a deal and have just needed to let out a battle cry. You got this!
I made a hole-in-one in a simulator bay at my local PGA Superstore! I routinely go to use a practice bay to look at my swing on video. I hit a shot dead at the flag and saw the "shot counter" stop at the flag yardage. I used the replay feature to watch the shot and saw it went into the hole.
I love the channel and appreciate the huge effort to get it the ball in the hole with a shot from the tee box. Is this a HOLE IN ONE? No, it the 1736th shot.Hole in ones are one shot on a hole in a 9 or 18 hole round. ( on a simulator or real course). Again I’m not wanting to cast hate on the effort achieved here. Thanks
Never been into golf and still don't have interest in it but this showed up in my recommendation and i watched the whole video because it was entertaining lol
Bud. Ace probability is (rh-lh)/10000. where rh is the height in inches of the right hip at the top of the backswing and lh is the same measurement for the left hip. Maximize this probability on each shot.

Underrated comment, even counted the penalty strokes :D
@@Moldylocks Wouldnt it be between 5-10 depending on his handicap?

Hopefully this experiment helped him and others to grasp, how hard it is to make a holie!
rooting for him but no chance he does it in 1000
1000 attempts on a course is a shitload of divots. There wont be any tee box left!
Two in one tournament* not round
I love how throughout the video they would bleep out the cursing but when he finally gets the ace the “LETS FUCKING GOO” wasn’t bleeped 😂 fucking great
Cringe. A bad example for our Generation Z children.

Well done!!! It’s so hard when you’re visiting shankyland…. You can’t understand why it keeps happening. Way to hang in there and make it happen!
Haha! Shankyland. Going to use that -KR

was going to comment on this but I'm not a good enough golfer yet either ;) nicely picked up and adjusted!
my swing changes to change the pain location on my ribs and back. :(
When they were handing out perseverance Keffer got back in line and got a second helping 🤟
👊 thanks, Brent -KR
This was beyond entertaining to watch. When I saw it was Keffer being put up for a challenge, I knew he wasn't giving up until the job was done. Way to go Keff, awesome accomplishment!
The People’s Hole in One! I think we all felt that 1736th shot go in. Great job, Keffer 👏🏽
For Keffer...

I don't know if this has been done before, but this is probably one of the coolest golf video ideas I've ever seen, and you executed the video really well!
I got a hole in one from 160 yds last week at golftec on my 10th shot: th-cam.com/video/YXAXnVK_0Ow/w-d-xo.html
High praise, thanks!

Keffer content! Every member of this RGC team is incredible.
I would have quit for sure around shot 500 or when the first blister appeared. Kuddos to him for sticking with it.
H2P
The simulator is legit! Cant wait to try it out in a golf vlog!

Bingo. I was thinking this at Keffer through the screen when I saw all those early high shots.
had to hit like after the 11:54 mark.. this was pure entertainment! Cheers for the diehard dedication and editing.
You should of had a Fitbit or whatever everyone is wearing that keeps track of your heart rate. I'm sure hitting that many balls for that long it took years off you life. 💯😂
well done again.
🍻
Hands down, favorite video. Speechless, laughed and (maybe) shed a tear when the ball went in. This is golf!
Haha, thanks John! Had a great time shooting and cutting this video.
They need to get Keffer on the real hole #7. After this I think he earned a round at pebble.
I agree!
Sitting there with a beer watching this for the evening seems like golf nerd fun. Love it

Changing the pin felt like cheating
Yeah i found that to be cheesy.
Congratulations!! You're absolutely right......it is very hard to hit a hole in one. I've been playing 40 yrs...have one!
55 years and none 😢
Both of my grandparents have 4 hole in ones
you did it first my guy!!!
The foam roller/yoga intermission was 👌
I love that you left in the raw emotion of him making it!
I feel your pain. I've had two hole in ones on a Skytrak but when I did a hole in one challenge, couldn't make one to save my life. Had to give up and come back another day to get it.

Thanks Jesse!
"it ain't gonna be that hard!"
*12 minutes of video left*
This video is going to give someone who's been afflicted by a particularly bad case of the shanks some major PTSD lol
Congrats on making the shot, fix the club pathing on the backswing to get rid of the shanks. Now step up the challenge with a longer Par 3 hole.
Great video, awesome editing.. fun to watch!
When the effort and perseverance is far more impressive than the actual hole in one
Thanks, Jim!
This is amazing. I don't think some are grasping at how many swing that truly is!!
Incredible persistence.
Thanks, Eric!
Well done!
I was feeling it!
That’s a great thing to have done.
Amazing stuff Keffer. Now we need a whole in one from 200+ yards 👀

Way to go, man! Perseverance is everything! It must have felt so good to finally see it drop.
Such a good feeling.

Its crazy how different your swing gets from morning to night. Ive never swung 700 times in a day, cant imagine what mine would turn into.
I definitely wasn't expecting the fatigue. thanks for the watch!
Way to stay positive and make it happen. I want to try this but also don't want to try it at the same time.

You're totally right. My ball striking was much more consistent after this video. Thanks for the watch! -KR
This was fun to watch. Great concept and video
GOAT strat, when you can't get a hole in one in one spot have the greenskeeper just move the hole
My 16 year old son took up golf last year, got his first hole in on on Augusta 12th and his second on TPC sawgrass 17. Some cool holes to have hole in ones on.

Unbelievable. I think we all think we could do it. Probably not…great sticktoitness!
Lucky neighbors
Congrats on the hole in 2000
I have a sim in my garage. The sudden string of shanks when you are trying to make micro adjustments . . . and then completely lose it . . . yea . . . I can relate to that . . . it hurts.
"it ain't gone be that hard" - proceeds to shank hard right a few swings later lol.
Good for him. I would have been mentally shattered after one hozzle rocket.
The shanks were tough
That was awesome, he’s in great shape…..my spine would have flew off after 500 balls
The amount of shanks was incredible
It get's less dialed because your mind is so focused on getting the hole in one and not the muscle fatigue. Then frustration sets in.
Nice video man! Good on you for sticking trough the rough patches.
to be fair I dont think even professional golfers swing at the same hole almost 2000 times in real life.
I think I've made maybe 4 on my sim but they were all pitch and putt so nothing over 120 yds. I did win a Foresight closest to the hole recently from 175. Hit a 7i to around 10"
He was at 109 yards
This was a surprisingly good watch! Cheers brother 😎
Awesome grind man especially considering the shanks
Haha well played. Watching all them lazy half swing wedges was frustrating though lol. Didn’t want to hit a sand/lob wedge and spin it back?
Was easier to run it out! First few shots were with a SW and they just kinda stuck there.
Not surprised about the shanks, you just haven't got the energy to move your hips out of the way.
Thumbs up for the effort alone!
This is dope man!! May I know what projector do you have ? Trying to build something like this
thats nuts, back in 2020 when i was fitting for a new iron, i had two hole in ones with the srixon Z765 almost back to back. bought them on the spot
HA! Great sales tactic?
I knew there was going to be a lip-out at some point, but I still cried when it happened
Same lol

Haha good eye, Bart. Thanks for the watch!
Funny my brother just played that hole on Tuesday, the 13th. He said was epic.
Perseverance 🇨🇦 all heart, nice work buddy
Thanks, Conor! -KR
Jerry barber had a televised hole in one at the 1962 Buick open. A few years before Jacklin
lol.... when he thinned one at the pin and expected it to go in!
A guy can hope! I was willing to accept any hole out at that point.
Never been into golf and still don't have interest in it but this showed up in my recommendation and i watched the whole video because it was entertaining lol
Love this video !!! Congrats on the hole in one !!!
ive never celebrated while watching a youtube video until now, shit was hype
I get 3 a week on my GC3 more in the winter. I've had 10 in one week.
0:40 - Got a hole in one and shot 105
“One of us! One of us! One of us!”
Loved it, good vid 😆
The power of perseverance!
I'm exhausted just watching this! Wow
That's some serious dedication 😅 Good job dude! 💪
Awesome video! I have a hio on the sim and in real life and both were just as good and just as hard to hit!
Congrats on both! Thanks for the watch!
And to think I doubted. Fire me up Keffer
Thanks for sticking in there with me. I appreciate the watch! -KR
Bud. Ace probability is (rh-lh)/10000. where rh is the height in inches of the right hip at the top of the backswing and lh is the same measurement for the left hip. Maximize this probability on each shot.
That's awesome.
I resisted looking at the comments haha what a video
Haha that was pretty great. Now I have to go to simgolf and do this over and over again
Good luck!
Try feel like the club comes outside the ball for the takeaway
Incredible entertainment! More of this.
Classic win and go home scenario.
The right headspace meaning step outside and rip a joint 🤷♂️🤣
love this video i want to see one where you get an eagle on a par 4
Great idea!
Good video! It seems like you try to hit "up" on the ball tho instead of down. Just something I noticed you coule improve
Camera footage says 4-1-2022 Fri... So, April fools? :D
My body would not endure what you just did
Should have a shank count on the video.
Dammmmn I've never seen so many before lol
