Just before college I worked as a greenskeeper's assistant on a golf course. We had a tournament, there was a big prize for a hole in one on a specific hole. On that hole, the boss insisted on setting the pin himself. (Pin placement has a lot to do with the chances of a hole in one.) The boss put it where it was most likely to happen. He explained that the tournament was insured, they wanted somebody to win. The publicity would have been fantastic. Alas, the luck wasn't there. Nobody won the big prize that year.
