Four Holes in One? Uh, no

    You guys, we're talking about four different players in the same foursome all hitting holes in one. And the caller was a professional comedian.

    These are not normal circumstances.

    The policy at our shop is that a hole-in-one must be called in by the club pro with the hole number, length of the hole, club used and names and hometowns of witnesses.
     
  3. And the professional comedian must be a smashing success if he's resorted to calling in fake holes-in-one for material. HIL-Ar-IOUS.
    Wonder if he uses a rubber chicken for a head cover?

    I agree. The joke wasn't funny. A bad joke is a bad excuse for bad reporting.

    I can see taking a trusted source's word on a hole-in-one, but four on the same hole should have set off the BS meter and definitely needed more investigation.

    Every newspaper reports holes-in-one?

    Have you ever lived in a big city?

    Was that a subtle Jacksonville joke?
