does anybody even want start to work out the odds of happening ?

if u work out how many holes have been played in the open in total, say 4 people went around 1 golf course then it would be 4 * 18 = 72, obviously it would be much more than that

work out the odds of any particular hole being a hole in one, in this case 17 in however many there are in total, for it to happen 4 times in a row it would be that number ^ 4

pretty enourmous number, and not one that i can be arsed working out cos it would involve reading some history of the open and all sorts of other work

anyway, happy birthday mate
