This is too cool not to report!

What are the odds for making a hole-in-one?

The estimated odds of acing a hole with any given swing are one in 33,000. So, imagine the excitement of one committed golf nut,

when he found out that all he needed to even up the odds was “Disco Balls”

You read that correctly…”DISCO BALLS!”

Dan Auger, of Massachusetts, after 35 years of failed attempts, recorded his first ever hole-in-one.

Auger scored his ace on #5 at the Ballymeade Country Club in Falmouth, MA.

He is convinced that it was fashion, not golfing skill or karma that helped him knock in the hole on the 180 yard Par 3.

You see, it was the first time Auger was PLAYING LOUD,

wearing a new pair of “Disco Ball” shorts purchased from LoudMouth Golf.

Auger explained,”I called my wife right away and told her to throw all my other shorts away.”

You won’t be seeing Auger carrying around any other type of “lucky charm,”

now that he is convinced his LOUD fashion statement is the key to golfing greatness!

Of course, many members of the Golf Nut Society have already discovered the advantages to “PLAYING LOUD.”

When Golf Nut, Harry Dobson, slipped on his new “SandTrap”

slacks at the Matt Snodgrass Foundation Charity Tournament

all he could say was, “Wow, these really do make you feel good!”

Even the Head Nut has gone LOUD with 3 different designs in his closet.

“I fancy the “Mojo” but always play well when I wear the “Hot Dog” slacks,” claimed #0001.

So, what qualifies as a legit Ace?

The USGA® recommends that a hole-in-one be considered valid:

1. If made during a round of at least nine holes, except that a hole-in-one made during a match should be

acceptable even if the match ends before the stipulated round is completed.

2.If the player is playing one ball; a hole-in-one made in a practice round in which the player is playing

two or more balls should not be acceptable.

3.If attested by someone acceptable to the Committee.

4. If made at a hole with a temporary tee and/or putting green in use, even if the Committee did not specifically

define the teeing ground with tee-markers;

The length of the hole at the time should be stated on any certificate.
