MY FIRST HOLE IN
ONE
VSGA MEMBERS SHARE TALES OF THEIR FIRST ACES
IT’S ONE OF THE RAREST FEATS IN GOLF, one that inspires hope while standing
on the tee box of a par 3 and one that can put a real dent in your wallet in the
clubhouse lounge after. Holes in one aren’t easy to come by. The average player
has about a 12,500-to-1 shot of making one, and even tour professionals will only
make an ace once for every 2,500 tries.
In our Clubhouse newsletter in June, we asked VSGA members to share some of
their hole-in-one stories. And the response was overwhelming, so much so that there’s
no way we could fit all of them in print. Fear not, though. If you submitted a hole-inone
story, if it doesn’t appear on these pages, it will be published on VSGA.org.
On to the stories:
