Letters: Letters, Aug. 21, 1939
(6 of 6)
If, on a par 3 tee, your club strikes the ball with the force and angle which you intended, hits the green short of the flag and rolls into the cup, it did so in obedience to certain laws of physics which you set into action. Every molecule was doing its duty. This was your motive and intent. . . .
Therefore, it must follow that since the hole-in-one was the result of planned deliberation on your part, your failure to get a hole-in-one at any time is necessarily the result of an accident. The ball does not conform with your plans since you struck it in a manner other than that which you intended. . . .
