The odds are astronomically low no matter how good you are. On average, you’d need to play approximately 6,500 par 3’s (or approximately 1,300 rounds at Coulsdon) to have a hole in one from a statistical standpoint. Those members which have defied those odds are listed below. Click their names to read their story.

For high handicappers, achieving an eagle on the golf course is a truly remarkable feat. With a handicap of 18 or higher. The odds of an eagle for high handicappers are less than 1%. This means that for every 100 rounds of golf played, a high handicapper can expect to achieve an eagle once or less. While the odds may seem discouraging, it’s important to remember that golf is a game of skill and practice. Even for high handicappers, with dedication and improvement in their game, the chances of achieving an eagle can increase over time. According to the PGA Tour’s official statistics, Tour Pro can expect to make an Eagle once in every 10 rounds. Below is our list of high achievers, well done guys.
