John Murphy stepped up to the tee box of this 139 yard Par 3 hole and took his shot using an iron. The three other Probus members in his group (yes, there were witnesses) watched as John’s ball soared through the air heading straight for the pin. After it landed, no one could see where his ball was. It wasn’t until the golfers walked onto the green and found his ball in the hole that they realized that John had gotten a hole-in-one! These are fairly rare, as it’s estimated that 75%-80% of golfers will never make a hole-in-one in their entire lives. So what is most amazing is that this was John’s fourth hole-in-one! According to Google, the percentage of golfers who have made 4 holes-in-one in their lifetime is statistically microscopic, estimated at roughly 0.01% to 0.02% of all golfers. So congratulations to John as he has by far beaten the odds!

The golf group started the season on May 11th with a “Meet and Greet” at the clubhouse and began golfing the following week, playing 14 rounds in total throughout the summer.  There are 26 members in the golf group with 19 actively participating.
