What size is the golf hole?
The thing is that no one knows why the width of the hole must be exactly of this size. But every golfer will assure you that the size actually never matters – it's always too small. The standard of 4 ¼ inches appeared only in 1829 (with the invention of hole-cutters) and even now this accepted norm goes on existing. Before that, all the holes were made of an approximate diameter.

Another question said 4 inches, it should be consistent.

Billie-Jo Rich, it’s trivia. Get over it.

Chose the highest which proved to be correct

Billie-Jo Rich, Not me, but then I don't play or watch golf.

Big enough for a golf ball and that magnificent sound when your ball goes in.

Billie-Jo Rich, You just made my point. Have a lovely day.

Sean Philips, perhaps you can shut the hell up

Wendy Petty, that doesn't detract from the fact that 4 inches could also have been a correct answer - and it was one of the options given.

Jarrah Iluka, a rabbit does not live in a golf hole. I fail to see your standards with the gaping holes in you critique
Wendy Petty
Darlene Davidson, just because you a non golfer(?) doesn’t know
Wendy Petty
Ken Jackson, as a hole has a minimum depth you answered your own criticism. If a hole can be deeper then that is not the point of the question.

Billie-Jo Rich, perhaps a trivia site is not the best place for you
Ken Jackson
The question should have specified what was meant by size - 4 inches could equally be correct as that is the minimum depth of a golf hole.

Dumb question I mean really, who cares?

The question asked the size of a golfhole...did not specify whether it is diameter, circumference, area? Extremely vague question and unansweable and lost points for me. Please be more specific. Yhank you in advance.
