The Original Hole-In-One.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! I’m sure there were a few fathers on the golf course enjoying the day and there were probably even more who watched the U.S. Open. Wasn’t it fun to see the kid play with all the experienced pros? And how lucky do you have to be …
