Do you count a hole in 1 in the simulator?!

[p3eps]

I've never had a hole in 1 on the course. I've been playing regularly for about 25 years now, and have come close a few times... but it's never stayed in (had one leave a ball mark at the edge of the cup, but jump out!).

Last night I had a quick round of Crooked Cove on FSX Play. I was playing pretty well, and finding most greens (it's a par 3 course), and on the 13th, it landed, rolled across the green, and into the hole! I videoed the replay and sent it to a few of my friends.

Does a hole in 1 on a simulator count? Arguably I'm using one of the most accurate launch monitors in the world, and my aim (as with every par 3) was to get it in the hole.

I have 2........1 in real life and 1 on the simulator....... IMHO, yes it counts

I have 5 or so on the simulator, none on a real course. I would never claim to have hit a HIO if someone asked lol

Same here I have 3 on simulator but zip in real life

Nope. I have 3 (or 4?) on the simulator and it’s just not the same as the 1 real one I have.
