How can a hole in one be so common? Hitting a golf ball 250 yards into a 4" hole should be a zillion to one?

I can't understand how holes in one can be so common. It took 65 years for an NHL goalie to score a goal and they're shooting at a 6'x4' net.

On that par five hole, I scored an eagle and I am very proud of it.
