9 Year Old Boy Scores Hole In One
<snip>

HOPE TOWNSHIP, Mich. --A 9-year-old boy celebrated what some golfers can only dream of, making a hole-in-one during his first round this season.

Porter Brown, who began golfing last year, went to The Gully Golf Course in Midland County with his father and younger brother Monday morning and recorded the ace on the 125-yard sixth hole.

"We were high-fiving each other, jumping around and screaming," Brown's father, Jay, told the Midland Daily News for a story published Wednesday. "We were really proud of the whole situation. It's really nice to have the boys out on the course this year."

The father and brother were the only witnesses, but course officials don't doubt it happened.

"There's no question in our minds that the boy got it," owner Jerry Clark told The Associated Press. His wife, Alma, was working at the time.

"I know he did it," said Alma Clark, who said she saw the scorecard. "They were all ecstatic. It's nice to see little kids golf like that.

"It was indeed an exciting day at the course for that family," she said, adding that it was the Browns' first time at the course. "I know they'll back."

The course plans to present Porter, who shot a 42 on the nine-hole, par-3 course, with a hole-in-one trophy in honor of his accomplishment.

Jerry Clark said someone makes a hole-in-one at the course about three times per year. The course, about 10 miles northwest of Midland, is seven years old.

2. Tiger Woods?? pfft
He is nothing compared to the greatest golfer ever.

Move over Tiger: N. Korea's Kim shot 38 under par his 1st time out
http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2004/ea_nkorea_06_16.html

Fortunately for all entrants, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il will not be playing. If the official government media is to be believed, Kim is easily the greatest golfer, the world has ever seeen.

Pyongyang media say North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il enjoys golf, having shot multiple holes-in-one during his first try at the game. He reportedly aced five holes and finished 38 under par on the golf course. The "Great Leader" routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported.
