Tree Helps Golfer Nail a Hole-In-One

Yanno, if this sort of thing happened more often, it would be a much more interesting game to watch.

ALBION, N.Y. (AP) - It might be one of the more unusual aces in the history of golf, and it won Gene Raymond a new car. Raymond was playing in a charity tournament at Hickory Ridge County Club in Orleans County when his tee shot from the 18th hole hooked left into some trees.

Raymond, 66, figured he was looking at a tough shot out of the woods.

But when Raymond and his partner got to the green, they found Raymond's ball in the hole.

Witnesses told the men that Raymond's shot hit a tree and ricocheted across the green into the hole.

Last month's hole-in-one, the first in the tournament's 26 years, won Raymond and his wife a 2005 Buick LaCrosse worth $30,000. They picked up the vehicle this week. Raymond, who works for a Rochester car dealership, says he plays golf about once a week.

I love stories like that. Every golfer, no matter their level of play, has a certain degree of luck (both good and bad) working with them.

Any hole in one is a good hole in one.

Hey, Chris! Welcome to the Lounge!

I loved that story, too. The only thing that would have improved it would have been a photo of the expressions on the faces - the winners *and* the "un-winners." A comment from the tree would have been nice, as well.
