Hole in One!

Manning the Pin --- I found my Ace in the hole

SMITHVILLE, TN – October 14, 2008 RiverWatch Golf Club

Phil Brasher from Franklin, TN shot an “ace in the hole” at RiverWatch Golf Club Tuesday, October 14.

“The shot was short of the green, bounced about 3 feet and we lost sight of it, as it hit into the #16 green,” describes witness, Benjamin Stilt. “We looked for my golf ball a good five minutes, until I gave up.” It wasn’t until I was manning the hole for Ben; to my amazement I saw my Nike 1 Black in the hole for an Ace,” reports Phil.

The hole in one was Phil Brasher’s FIRST Ace. He smacked a Nike 1 Black with a Woods Brother’s 9 Iron from 151 yards out. Mr. Brasher estimates in the past 10 years, he’s played about 300 rounds of golf.

IN 1999, The Golf Digest study provided many great nuggets of information, even breaking the odds down by quality of play:
 Tour player making an ace: 3,000 to 1
 Low-handicapper making an ace: 5,000 to 1
 Average player making an ace: 12,000 to 1

 Average player acing a 200-yard hole: 150,000 to 1
 Two players from the same foursome acing the same hole: 17 million to 1
 One player making two holes-in-one in the same round: 67 million to 1
