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

[Propaganda]

You guys should stick to what you're good at on here, which these days is *checks notes* caring about the WNBA for internet points from "organic" posters who are actually just astroturfing shyt for clicks and adrev.
Anytime you try to talk highbrow sports concepts, it becomes glaringly obvious none of you know a goddamn thing.
First of all, the parameters of this debate are so wide open as to make it nonsensical.
Let's start with the feasibility of homering.
A pitcher's job is to get out of an inning allowing no runs. If he needs to put a man on base, so be it. So how is he pitching to you?
He could jam you inside all day to try to get you to flail at a few.
Does he need to pitch meatballs over the plate?
Or can he use every trick in his bag?
Can he throw 90mph between your shoulder blades to shake you up a little?
Or do these need to be "hittable" balls?
How many swings do you get? How many pitches do you get?
Do you just get to stand there all day swinging a bat like a retard, hoping for contact?
If that's the case, why would the pitcher even care about throwing strikes? He might as well just throw it high and inside all day long until you get bored.
Typical coli poster: "oh well, uh, don't be so literal, they have to be hittable pitches."
Ok fruitcake, define a "hittable pitch," and at that point, what difference does it make if it's an "MLB" pitcher. It could be anyone if you have a specific type of pitch in mind. Does it need to be 98mph right down the chute?
Who knows, right? Certainly not the thread starter.

Then you got "a hole in one on a PGA course."
Ok.
A par 3? 4? 5?
Presumably a par 3.
Ok, what yardage?
Tour holes can be as short as 80-90 yards.
What pin placement? Thursday? Friday? Saturday? Sunday?
Are we talking tournament greens or weekly greens--both, by the way, exist on "PGA courses."
How are they watered? What's the wind? Did it rain the night before?
Am I swinging in the morning, noon or night?
What's the relative humidity?
Typical coli poster: "Lol, none of that matters, just like, you know, a golf hole."
Shut the fukk up, you know absolutely nothing about sports.
An 80 yard par 3 (which is in play at the US Open) on a rainy morning with a Thursday pin placement cut to the front of the green?
How many balls do I get? One swing? 100? 1000?
Do I get more or less swings than I would get cuts at the baseball?

Don't you fakkits have a Liberty game to pretend you watched last night so no one hits you with a side eyed MJ emoji while calling you a CAC?

Lol at watching you idiots try to talk about sports.

About 1 in 10 of you watch sports.
About 1 in 100 of you play sports.
And about 1 in 1000 of you can combine those attributes to say anything worthwhile with regards to sports.

Can this site get shut down again already.

Lol, it's my schtick.
I actually love you idiots, and have since 2001.
Im like Skip.
Hate sells.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I have seen many non pro people hit lucky hole in ones

I have NEVER seen a non pro hit a HR off an MLB pitcher... Never.. Not even sure I seen one get a hit

I question whether the average person is hitting high-level womens collegiate softball pitching

damn this nikka started getting granular

Well taking all of that into account, hitting a hole in 1 is harder lol. Luck or not. But again the probability of either is so low I don't think it matters

Hitting a hole in 1 is not hard. Something that relies on you continuously doing it over and over until it randomly happens isn’t hard. Difficult implies that you have a high level of control over the outcome and can overcome it.

If you say hitting a golf ball and landing it on the green yeah that’s difficulty. Getting a hole in 1 is random luck.

I golf. I'm not a good golfer. Probably play 5 times a year and I know for a fact I could hit a fukking hole in one at Augusta faster then I could hit a homerun off of any mlb pitcher.

You're basically saying that you'd hit a hole in one in a million tries vs 1.25 million tries for a home run. Both of them shyts are nearly statistically impossible.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Pro golfers arent aiming for the flag right off the tee every time due to chances of the shot going awry. If they tried to hit a hole in one every par 3 they would happen more often.

This makes no sense. If there was a way to make the hole in one happen more often, they'd do it. Most of these pro golfers are doing advanced stat analysis on where to aim to score best.

100 swings. I'm putting AT LEAST one ball within 3 ft of the hole.

I would actually pay to see this because even with 100 swings, it's not as easy as you're making it seem.

I've hit a hole in one, but I've never hit a baseball out of the in-field.All ground balls to the 2nd basemen.And this is high school PE softball I'm talking about

 

[Heretic]

I played baseball and was pretty good at it, I mean scholarship level good at it. I was in the Braves thread one day and told the brehs about how Tim Hudson came one day to my high school and was throwing to us and not a single one of us was able to put the ball in play. That's when I knew baseball was just something to do and I needed to just focus on football this is coming from someone that hit 15 HRs my last year. Now coming back and just playing around in college I was launching batting practice homers in a park that's roughly the size of Wrigley Field. So not a huge park but definitely over 330ft from plate to the wall. I think if I was able to get 100 swings at the SAME pitch I could do it. But a fastball followed by a change-up, or a curve and definitely not a knuckleball (which is damn near impossible to hit out no matter who you are) then no I can't do it because I've been out of practice too long. But I think I could hit a home run before I could hit a hole in one. Golf is incredibly hard especially on a PGA rated course. I've tried it twice and I was trash at it, that shyt humbled ya boy because I thought it was as simple as hitting the ball far and straight and just cleaning it up... wrong.
