Have you ever imagined or daydreamed of hitting a hole in one? You’re not alone. Thousands of golfers hope to achieve this phenomenon every time they get ready to tee off on their favorite par-3. A low handicap golfer faces minimum 5000 to 1 odds of accomplishing this feat. PGA tour members are lucky if they hit one in their lifetime.

Imagine this………

News has come out of Peoria, Illinois (El Paso Golf Club). 22 year old Curt Hocker has stunned the golfing world. Last week, over a six day span, Hocker holed FIVE… that’s right… 5 holes in one!

Your reaction is probably the same as mine… ‘no way!’ According to UPI.com (article) this was no hoax and witnesses were present. No word yet, but it’s safe to assume Peoria has a new local celebrity.

My father, a recreational golfer, once hit two holes in one while on the links in Florida. His first was witnessed by one person… my mother. Needless to say his moment was soon filled with clubhouse skepticism and ribbing by his buddies since no one else was around to capture the moment. He was redeemed nearly one year to the day. He nailed a second hole-in-one when his drive on a par 3 one hopped into the cup with close buddies cheering the shot. Needless to say, it was the highlight of his recreational golfing career.

Hocker’s 5 aces during a six day span will remain hard to believe… and will probably never be matched again. Somehow in the back of my mind this seems like a great hoax.

Tiger Woods… you now have a new challenge!
