What’s harder: A regular person hitting a homer against a MLB pitcher or hitting a Hole-in-One on a PGA course?

If that cornball Kershaw leaves anything over the plate I’m launching that into the Pacific with a 130 mph exit velocity
I legitimately believe a regular person getting a ball into play, let alone to the outfield, let alone to the warning track, is harder. Didn't steph curry, a casual player, hit a hole in one recently??Hitting a home run is easier.

the GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME hit a HR at 7% of his at bats...NOT plate appearances...at bats
Steve Jeltz hit a HR in .25% of his at bats...not plate appearances...at bats. When it comes to MLB Steve Jeltz is just a guy. He is A PROFESSIONAL baseball player with a 8 seasons of major league experience. And has < 10 HR ever.
this also shows how ridiculously special it is to BE an MLB player, as in, you have the skills to make contact with a major league pitch

steve jeltz, baseball journeyman with no HR skills...is in the 99.99th% percentile of all people ever who have played baseball. And he has 5 home runs. Ever.
Random people have made holes in 1. NO random dude is hitting an MLB home run.

Read the thread there's mufukkas saying if they golfed it'd be possible....who tf is trying to make a hole in one on a par 4 let alone a par 5?

What are the parameters for this comparison? In baseball you have 3 strikes. In golf you only get one tee shot.
In golf you have par 3's that are 170 yards all the way to 280 yards.

Say you go to the plate and the pitcher just misses the first two and you’re up in the count 2-0. Likely he finna put you sum across the plate. You swing with everything and put the fat part of the bat on the ball and boom

An untrained batter will absolutely never hit a home run off an MLB pitcher with a wooden bat in a major league ballpark. 90+ mph pitching is unhittable for an average, non-athlete.
An untrained golfer can luck up and top/skull an iron shot on a short par 3 into the hole. PGA par 3's are often 200+ yards which is quite long, but sometimes they'll throw in quirky 110/120 yard short par 3's during tournaments. A bad amateur player can accidentally blade a shot on the green of a short 100 yard par 3.

No one is saying that. The assumed par when talking about a hole in 1 is a par 3. Some of you arguing in here don't even understand that and probably should have sat this debate out.
This close thread.
A lot of dynamics here, but one of the biggest ones is that a "regular person" will likely have the strength to hit a stationary ball off a tee onto the green, in terms of distance. Not sure a "regular person" will have the strength in their legs, hips, and arms to hit a HR 400+ feet......
Also, is this scenario facing a pitcher throwing ANYTHING he wants? Or, is he throwing every pitch down the middle?

Lord help you if that pitcher is throwing anything with some movement on it.

Both scenarios difficult no doubt, but a regular person would be lucky to even make contact with a mlb pitcher. Like a foul ball they ain’t hittin no damn homers
