The person tending the pin is usually some one in your foursome or your caddy(if you are a pro) so there is usually no one on the green on a hole where you have a chance of going strait from the tee to the green.
The bottom of the hole is shaped like an inverted truncated cone except it has eight ( I think) flat angled sides with holes in them around the hole where the flag stick fits in.. That way when it bounces it hits the side of the hole, or the stick... Remember the stick is in the hole unless there is someone there to "tend the pin" but that never occurs on a tee shot.
Remember, the pin is always in so it traps the ball’s energy between it and the sides of the hole before it reaches the bottom of the cup. Listen closely and you will always hear the ball hit the pin as it “slam dunks” into the hole. There isn’t much space available between the pin and sides so the ball has nowhere to go.
Many times the ball hits a little higher though and the pin acts as a deflector, thus the ball ends up many yards away from what would have been a great shot.
From a tee off the flag should still be in the hole, without the flag from a tee off getting the trajectory right to keep it in the hole would be way more impressive than hitting the target.
Rare, but have definitely seen balls that landed in the hole on the fly.
Regardless, she is a dipshit and has no clue about golf.
"Regardless, she is a dipshit and has no clue about life" fixed it.
…she is a dipshit and has no clue! Full stop.
Just a whore obsessed with filling holes

Just a couple that were easy to find. I have never seen it on a par 4, but it definitely happens on par 3s although it isn’t very common.
Oh sorry. No, never a slam in person. Seen 2 other variety holes in one though with just my hack buddies.
I have seen one go off the tee, hit the stick, and drop in.... but isn't it hitting the stick technically a bounce?

She’s an amateur lol
Check my other reply. It happens.
Many of these are from the tee, thus are considered holes in one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x__0_AWPRuI

It like those "dude perfect" clickbait vids, but in real life!
You know the videos where they likely film thousands of attempts to do the unthinkable, then post the one of actual success
