It is absolutely a hole in 1. If the golf ball hits a permanent object (light pole, halfway hut, etc etc) the ball is still considered in play where it comes to rest (unless it comes to rest out of bounds!).
In your case, it came to rest in the hole, so therefore, it's a hole-in-1.
Well done! Not the most elegant, but still great!
Cheers!

Of course it is! It doesn"t have to be a a light pole either. If anyone remebers, there was a hole a few years back on the PGA. It was a par four close to 400 yrds, the guy hits the ball to the green, hits the guys putter who just finshed the as he is walking off, and goes in the hole. Counted as a hole in one on a par four. I dont remeber the golfers involved but they were fairly big names. Nice job they dont happen too often.

Yes...any obstacle struck in the process of a golf shot is an "act of god" according to the US Supreme Court. The only exception would be if you were to play the shot off a "hazard" intentionally, which would be a penalty and not a hole in one.
If the light pole resides within the hazard, it would not be a hole in one after the penalty is applied!

A hole in one and you can give that light pole a great big kiss.

Sounds OK to me. Let's hope that light pole wasn't out of bounds!

those are the guidelines: in case you imagine your ball will be lost or out of bounds, you may plan yet another ball (provisional ball) from the position the position your first ball replaced into performed. you may tell your opponent or fellow-competitor that you're taking area in a provisional ball and play it earlier you search for the first ball. in case you may't discover your first ball or no matter if that's out of bounds, you may count number the strokes with the first and provisional balls, upload a penalty stroke and play out the hollow with the provisional ball. in case you discover your first ball in bounds, proceed play with it and %. up the provisional ball. count number your First

Only if it goes through the windmill first. I'll bet you can't do it again. Yeah, it's a hole in one.
