Frequently
Asked Questions:
Want to know more about registering a hole-in-one
with U.S. Golf Register?
The
USGA® recommends that a hole-in-one
be considered valid:
-
If
made during a round of at least nine holes, except
that a hole-in-one made during a match should be
acceptable even if the match ends before the stipulated
round is completed.
-
If
the player is playing one ball; a hole-in-one made
in a practice round in which the player is playing
two or more balls should not be acceptable.
-
If
attested by someone acceptable to the Committee.
-
If
made at a hole with a temporary tee and/or putting
green in use, even if the Committee did not specifically
define the teeing ground with tee-markers; the length
of the hole at the time should be stated on any
certificate.
