that was a par 4 hole-in-one, لقطة رائعة

Explanation:
Par is the standard number of strokes set for each hole on a golf course, or for the entire course.
So, if you score a hole-in-one on a par 4, then you really hit the jackpot. So I am suggesting, if this is in reference to the shot, just to translate it as a "great shot".
