Paige Spiranac recently took on the challenge of trying to make a hole-in-one in a given number of ways. In Spiranac's case, she attempted the challenge with 25 golf balls.

In a video posted on her YouTube channel on Thursday, the social media personality demonstrated her attempt to voluntarily achieve arguably golf's most difficult and sought-after shot, an ace. The video garnered more than 30,000 views in nine hours.

Although Paige Spiranac did not reveal which golf course she was attempting her challenge on, she described the hole as a downhill, 80-yard par 3. She also decided to start her attempts with her 50th wedge.

Her first few shots were too long, so after a few attempts, she decided to change clubs, choosing her pitching wedge. With this club, her shots improved significantly, getting closer and closer to the hole.

With her pitching wedge, Paige Spiranac was able to place several balls within three feet of the hole, both left and right. However, she missed the hole-in-one with all 25 balls available.

Despite the miss, the 30-year-old was confident that she could make it. She said that if she had 50 chances, she might have made it.
