You can play golf your entire life without managing to get a hole-in-one thanks to the combination of luck and skill that’s required to check that box. However, one member of the women’s golf team at Purdue has become very accustomed to making an ace when you consider she’s managed to record four of them this season alone.
According to the PGA of America, the average golfer has a 1-in-12,500 chance of making a hole-in-one, and it takes the typical person 24 years to finally achieve that incredibly elusive feat.
Those odds obviously drop a bit if you know what you’re doing on the course; they dip to 1-in-5,000 if you’re a low handicap and 1-in-3,000 if you’re someone who possesses enough skills to play golf for a living.
Natasha Kiel may not be a professional golfer, but she obviously possesses more skill than the average weekend hack when you consider she’s currently a member of the women’s golf team at Purdue after spending the first two seasons of her college career at Vanderbilt.
The Pennsylvania native boasts a +3.5 handicap (meaning she usually finishes at that many strokes under par) and has been the best player on Purdue’s team this season heading into the Big Ten championship, which kicked off at Bulle Rock Golf Course in Maryland on Friday.
Kiel has gotten some help from her stellar play on par-3s, as she had three holes-in-one (including two in competitive play) prior to heading to Bulle Rock earlier this week.
She and her teammates got the chance to get a feel for the course during a practice round prior to the start of the tournament, and Kiel was filmed teeing off on the par-3 12th before tallying her fourth ace of one of the most absurd seasons a college golfer can possibly have.
Save some for the rest of us, Natasha.
