Long Odds in Golf. Do you think you can do a hole In golf in one? Lloyds, of London, thinks the chances are 1 in 900. Lloyd’s is wagering £250 to £2B that a hole in one cannot be made in 9000 tee shots. Golfers in Tacoma, Washington, United States, are shooting for the wager. The contest will go on until 9000 shots have been played or the wager won. If there is a winner in the first 9000 shots, Lloyd’s will write another policy taking the same wager for the second 9000.
