A very special hole-in-one


Hi Linda,

You may remember about a year ago my story about my guide dog Webster and him moving a player’s ball…then my wife collecting him because of the heat [http://lindamillergolf.blogspot.com/2017/07/ask-linda-1583-ball-moved-by-dog.html]. Well, just for info, on Saturday, after 45 years, I scored my first ever hole in one on the par 3, 14th hole at our golf club. It’s 175 yards long and the effort was witnessed by my three playing partners and Webster. It also happened to be my first ever eagle.

Just thought you might be interested. The odds of a normal sighted golfer getting an ace are around 15,000 to 1. What must be the odds of a registered blind person with his guide dog?

Regards,
Lou from Somerset, U.K.
