Wills went out in 29, making four birdies in the first six holes, along with his lone bogey of the day. On the 278-yard par-4 seventh, Wills made his first of three aces on the day with what he called a "baby-draw 3-wood."
He then started the back nine with another par-4 ace, this time from 310 yards with a driver. He was incredulous.
"I literally said to myself, 'Get real.' I thought they were teasing me," he said. "Never in my wildest imagination did I think I could get multiple ones in the same round."
At the uphill par-3 14th, Wills used a 5-iron to make his third and final hole-in-one on the day. At that point, Wills was 13 under through 14 holes.
He slowed down from there, playing the final four holes in 1 under, including a Dustin Johnson-like three-putt par on the par-5 finishing hole.
quote:
Though the 57 is a lifetime best for Wills, he claims to have "numerous" rounds of 59, as well 22 career aces, including four on par 4s. I know, I know. You're thinking a word that rhymes with poolspit. However, Wills, who is a plus-4 handicap, has witnesses: sons Charlie and Christopher, also a member of the military, as well as Air Force major Matt Ghormley.

Props to the guy for all the aces, but I am not impressed with his scores. That course sounds ridiculously easy.

Can someone do one of those odds calculations on this? Especially with the back to back par 4 aces.
I've had a round like that on Tiger Woods on the Xbox

278 par 4? seems like just about everyone would be driving that in 1

Nothing the average OTer couldn't do.
That's insane

The course hosted the U.S. amateur public links in 2013, but the article says it was set up to play pretty short

Keating, who was tournament director for the event, set up the tournament, designed to maximize rounds in a single day because of the amount of sunlight, to get easier over the course of the day. In Round 2, players competed off the White tees at a length of 6,021 yards.

he could have 800 witnesses and I'd still call BS.
There is a better chance I get struck by lightning and swept up in a sharknado while banging kate upton this weekend than that actually happening.

It's on the Internet, has to be real

They were actually talking about this on Morning Drive this morning on the golf channel.

You buy the hot new driver every year and go out to shoot your 97 every other weekend I bet.

This is gonna end up being bullshite like that old lady who was claiming she made holes in one all the time.
Posted on 6/29/15 at 10:19 am to Janky
I wonder if people were messing with him or it's just BS.

I need to see him hit a ball to judge.

If I witnessed it personally I would still not believe what I saw and think there was some kind of David Copperfield shite going on.
