The impossible made possible today

[Nick]

I watched a guy Ace a hole that nobody has Aced yet. At Kenwood Park in Cadillac Michigan. I've came pretty close to the basket but never hit chain. It's a 297 foot straight shot. But the first 150 foot is a tight 7 to 8 foot wide tunnel of trees. Then there's a tree and a 3 foot tall stump right in front of the basket that you have get over. Anybody that's played this course will understand what challenge this is. Nice shot BW.

Has anybody else done the impossible?

 

[Conler Milrad]

I don't think that the hole was impossible. The guy just aced it.

Pics or lies...oh wait, people are too good at PS anyways.

It's always cool to see any ace, let alone one on an "impossible hole"

 

[Nick]

That's cool, I have no reason to lie. I was just trying to give a guy a compliment for making a nice shot. Thought maybe someone would have a similar story. Guess not.

What hole #?

 

[jsc430]

How about a link to the course or a pic of the hole?

Obviously not impossible since it just happened, perhaps improbable, but if you've been close a couple times it doesn't even sound that improbable. :doh:

I just completed trisecting an angle using only a compass and straight edge. Yesterday, using the same tools, I constructed a square with a perimeter equal to a given circle's circumference.

Tomorrow, for sh!ts & giggles, I will begin construction of my rigorous proof that 0=1.

Yes, but can you prove that 0/0=1? That, I want to see.

Hey, don't divide by zero. You might destroy life as we know it.

 

[ejvogie]

Yes, but can you prove that 0/0=-√1? That, I want to see.

Fixed

If you insist...

let x = y

multiply both sides by x
x^2 = xy

subtract y^2 from both sides
x^2 - y^2 = xy - y^2

factor
(x+y)(x-y) = y(x-y)

cancel the (x-y) terms on both sides
x+y = y

since x=y, substitute y for x
y+y = y

rewrite as
2y = y

divide both sides by y
2 = 1

subtract 1 from both sides
1 = 0

so, 0/0 can be rewritten as 1/1, which equals 1.

This is the only 297 footer at that park....looks pretty tough #11

You, sir, have just made my day.

Kudos

Cool. Maybe I'll be able to putt now.

I'll try to get a better picture of it tomorrow.
