It’s unusual for any golf course to end on a par-3. The normal finishing hole is a long par-4 or even a risk-reward type of hole like the par-5 finishing hole at the BMW PGA Championship, but you don’t normally see a golf tournament decided with this distance. Since the Greenbrier Classic is one of […]
Peter Hanson makes hole-in-one, wins a fan her mortgage for a year
June 28, 2014 by
This week at Congressional marks the first with the name “Quicken Loans” attached to it. The online mortgage lender teamed up with Tiger Woods to headline this event, and promised some nice prizes for fans if anyone in the field made a hole-in-one. While nobody has carded one on the par-3 10th yet this week […]
A mini tour player just made a hole-in-one in a playoff to qualify for his first PGA Tour event
May 14, 2014 by
Monday qualifying on the PGA Tour is normally reserved for the “what if” story. What if I had made just one birdie? What if I hadn’t choked on the final hole? What if I had finally got that break I need?! On Tuesday at the The Lakes at Castle Hills, it was anything but a […]
Nick Price made the first hole-in-one ever at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic
March 25, 2014 by
There had never been a hole-in-one in the five-year history of the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic, but that changed on Sunday thanks to Nick Price. Price was not having his best week at the Champions Tour stop, but he came to the par-3 14th hole hoping to make one swing and one swing only. Price’s […]
Alexander Levy made a hole-in-one during his opening round in Morocco
March 14, 2014 by
There are plenty of ways to make hole-in-ones, but not many are called shots. That happened on Thursday in Morocco when Alexander Levy politely asked his ball to go in the hole and it obliged, dropping for the rare ace at the second hole at the Golf du Palais Royal. Levy’s ball landed just a […]
Omega Dubai Desert Classic is offering $2.5 million prize for hole-in-one on par-4
February 2, 2014 by
Even if one of the professionals don’t win this weekend in Dubai they have a very good chance at leaving with more money that they probably ever expected to make thanks to this offer from tournament organizers. That’s because if you so happen to do the improbable on the par-4 17th hole on either Saturday […]
Ken Duke makes a hole-in-one, goes absolutely bananas after
January 20, 2014 by
When you hear the name Ken Duke you don’t normally equate it to excitement. The 44-year-old touring pro has made nearly $ 9 million over his career on the PGA Tour and picked up his first ever PGA Tour win a season ago at the Travelers Championship, but that isn’t why he’s here. Duke is […]
Keegan Bradley made a hole-in-one on Friday at the Humana Challenge
January 18, 2014 by
We’ve already seen some pretty incredible golf shots this season and we are barely halfway through the month of January. We’ve had an albatross in South Africa the same day we had an albatross at the Sony Open and Charl Schwartzel pulled off one of the silliest shots you’ll ever see off a road at […]
John Daly thought he won a car with pro-am hole-in-one, was denied
January 15, 2014 by
Leave it to our man John Daly to make a hole-in-one during a pro-am with a free car involved and not land the new wheels. That is exactly what happened on Monday at the Humana Challenge Pro-Am, when Daly knocked in a tee shot on a hole that was advertising a free Hyundai, but was […]
Stuart Manley made hole-in-one at World Cup of Golf, follows it up with 11 on next hole
November 23, 2013 by
Most of the time in golf, writing down a “1” on the scorecard is a good thing, but we had that rare instance in Melbourne where three “1s” in a row turned out to be a big negative. Stuart Manley, the 346th ranked golfer in the world from Wales, got himself into contention at the […]
