Which would you rather do first if you haven't done any.. Hole in one or shoot even par?

[Warren Zevon]

For me, most definitely an even par round.

Enjoy every sandwich.

I haven't done either.

Shoot even par.

Hole-in-one would just be icing on the cake.

In all reality, I'd probably need 4 hole in ones in a round to shoot even par, so it would all even out anyway.

Well i've done both but even par is defo the best! It just means you had a great round of golf , instead of a great shot

Shooting even par shows that you have a consistently good golf game.  This is something unattainable by 99% of the golfing public.

Almost everyone has the potential to make a hole in one. Example: a good friend has been playing golf regularly for 40+ years, shoots in the 80's, and never has had a hole in one.  His wife, playing infrequently and less than 10 years, never having broken 100, hits her tee shot into the hole.

As for me, I've shot one over par and a number of two and three over's.  I would love to get to even par at some point, but this is something that does not consume me, and as I get older I know that there is less chance that this will happen.

However, every time I tee it up on a par 3 and see the ball get airborne, I always have hope.  After I got my hole in one in 2006, I told my golfing partner, "Now I can die a happy man."

I guess what I am saying is that even though I never shot par, I would rather have another hole in one.  I love this game.
