Leif Olson – #15 Glen Abbey GC – 2009 Canadian Open

Billiards players will be familiar with the concept of “in off” but it’s not everyday you see it on the golf course. When the shot is a hole-in-one, puts the player -7 to par and wins him a $50,000 car. Altogether a particularly rare sort of an eagle. Leif Olson hits the green slightly left and beyond the flag on #15 of Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario at the 2009 Canadian Open and watches as at screws back, ricocheting off his partner’s ball and into the hole to win him a BMW Z4 Roadster.

Gene Sarazen-#8 Postage Stamp-Royal Troon-1973 Open Championship

As a young golfer I remember watching this shot on television and wondering how such a little old man could still play golf. Listening to the wonderful commentary by the legendary Henry Longhurst I learned that at aged 71 this was to be his last competitive tournament and he was to get a hole-in-one 50 years after he’d failed to qualify for 1923 Open Championship at Royal Troon whilst the reigning US Open Champion. This inspired a great love for the history of golf it’s champions and famous golf courses and of course I researched Gene Sarazen and I learned of his “shot heard around the world”, his Career Grand Slam, 7 major championships and place as a true legend of the game of golf.

Fuzzy Zoeller – Hole in One Allianz Championship 2006

admin — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 08:36:59 +0000

Some amazing golf shots defy description but I’m going to try anyway!
After Fuzzy Zoeller had played his tee shot on #16 Glen Oaks Country Club in the 2006 Allianz Championship he was distinctly underwhelmed. His 7 iron shot had run through the green and settled on the second cut of the apron, he even starting walking and asked his caddie for the sand wedge he would need to play his second shot.
Fully ten seconds later the ball started to move back down the slope towards the hole. As the gallery and commentary team watched incredulously the ball tracked towards and then dropped into the hole for an amazing hole in one, Zoeller didn’t even know what had happened until the crowd erupted!
