Each week during the golfing season, we write to Golf Canada members who record a hole-in-one, congratulating them and asking if they’d like their story to be featured on our website and social channels.
OAKVILLE (Golf Canada) – The well-received hole-in-one report is back for a second year.
During the golfing season, congratulatory emails and digital certificates are sent weekly to Golf Canada members who record a hole-in-one through the hole-by-hole scoring option on the Golf Canada website, Golf Canada mobile app or at your club kiosk.
The stories are compiled and shared on the Golf Canada website and on the Golf Canada social channels.
Read some of the stories shared by fellow Golf Canada members who accomplished this incredible feat.

<em>Thank you for acknowledging Zara’s hole-in-one. This is her mother, Nancy Kenley, helping her respond to the email as Zara is 12 years old and going in grade 7.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>She was super excited about getting a hole-in-one. Zara was playing a round by herself at her beautiful home course and I was driving her in a cart, like I often do. The yardage was about 129 yards and she hit the ball with a 9 iron. It was raining on and off.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>I actually recorded a video of the hole-in-one, as I often video her golfing, and especially usually on par 3’s as Zara has been obsessed with wanting to get a hole-in-one since she first learned about them.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>We hope to find a program that will track and show the ball, as you can barely see it in the air on the left, then it drops and rolls to the hole.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>I could see it through my camera phone, and you can see Zara’s surprised expression as she realized it went in the hole. Her reaction is priceless.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>The story is even more exciting, as a few years ago, a member, Joey, mentioned that he jumped in the pond once he got a hole-in-one. Our assistant, Pro Fletcher, had promised Zara that if she ever got a hole-in-one, she could push him in the pond on hole #2. So, this Friday, everyone is meeting at hole #2 at 6pm for Fletcher, Joey and Zara to get pushed/jump in the pond.</em>

<p><em>Hi,</em></p>
Thanks for reaching out!
My friends and I were out in Huntsville earlier this year to enjoy a summer weekend. In my group, I was playing with my friends Savi, Kevin and Alan on the Highlands par 72 course. I was playing from the white tees. I got my hole-in-one on the 8th hole which was playing around 131 yards. The tees are slightly elevated, and you hit down into the green, so I factored this in and chose to hit my pitching wedge. The golf ball that I was using was a Titleist Pro V1x. I hit a slight draw on the shot and the ball landed about two or three feet left of the pin but had some nice right sidespin which spun it right into the hole! It was quite fascinating watching the ball spin about two or three feet back to the right and into the hole which made the moment that much more exciting.
Thank you for providing me with a nice infographic to commemorate this exciting achievement!
Kind regards,
Luis Bridgeman
