The woman in question, Jacqueline Gagne, lives in the desert. After Kindred's story -- and an ugly separation between Gagne and her partner -- she's dropped out of sight.

My hole-in-one story (which unfortunately doesn't involve me swinging anything mightier than a pen):

Two years ago at the Par-3 Shootout in Michigan, Rick Smith (Mickelson's former coach and the managing partner of the Treetops Resort) pulls me aside and tells me about this story I had to hear.

This real estate developer from Wisconsin, Sanjay Kuttemperor, played a round with Smith on the Par-3 course at Treetops. Now, according to him, Sanjay had played all of about 20 birdie-free rounds of golf in his life.

That didn't stop him from acing two holes in a five-hole span. The second came after he bounced a ball off the trees right of the hole. It kicked left and rolled right into the cup. Because the hole plays uphill, they didn't know what happened until he looked in the cup.

The odds of this happening are roughly 67 million to 1.

The old man who was pissed his story didn't get sent out on the AP wire cited the 67 million to 1 odds to me. Over and over and over and over.

He should have been playing with Rick Smith before a Challenge Season event... with me doing PR ;D

Gary D'Amato of the Journal-Sentinel and Greg Hardwig in Naples both did stories on Sanjay, because he was from Wisconsin and was developing a huge golf course in the Naples area. The Detroit papers mentioned it and Keith Olbermann even brought it up on "Countdown" during his "Oddball" segment.
