\"Pat<\/a>An amateur golfer’s chance of an ace is 12,500 to 1. An ace is when a player hits the ball directly from the tee into the hole with one stroke. Also called a hole-in-one.<\/p>\n

You can read more stats like that<\/a> and be discouraged, or you can ask Pat O’Neil, our SAHP director of finance and administration, exactly how it feels to shoot a hole-in-one. She did it! With witnesses!<\/p>\n

“It was VERY exciting!” she said.<\/p>\n

Sunday, September 14, 2014, Pat was golfing with her husband (and not that well, by her account) at the LaVista Falls golf course, when she stepped to the fourth hole, a par three for 81 yards. She took a half swing with her eight iron. The ball soared 80 yards, landed on the green, rolled neatly to the hole, teetered, then fell in. She almost fell over.<\/p>\n

Another gentleman who had played past them saw the (w)hole thing. He went straight to the clubhouse to fill out a witness report, so it’s on the books.<\/p>\n

I asked her if she saved the ball as a trophy.<\/p>\n

“Never occurred to me to save that ball \u2013 pretty sure I put it in the lake on the next hole! I did save the club, however!”<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Pat!<\/p>\n
