Now.... there's more holes in this story than I can count, but being one of the two members of TNH's editorial staff with an ace I consider myself quite the expert.
Points of interest:
- She's played 118 rounds this year, averaging one hole-in-one per 30 par threes.
- Seven times she's searched all over for her shot, only to find her Pro V1 nestled in the cup
- In the past five years, Tiger Woods has holed exactly ZERO shots competitively from the 100 to 165 yard range
More facts can be found at her personal website. She's now had 39 news stories reported on her, endorsement deals from Cobra, a book release, and appearances in celebrity tournaments. Certainly, this story is working out for her.
From the story:
"In July, playing off a Handicap Index of more than 6 -- in March it was 10.1, in September 4.0 -- she reported shooting a course-record 66 at Eagle Falls Golf Course. She followed two weeks later with a 61. The Eagle Falls pro, Robb Mihelic, doubts it: "We had just punched the greens, and I couldn't make a 10-foot putt that day. But she came right into the shop and said she'd shot 61." He asked her, "Did you play them down, or winter rules?" "What's that?" she said to Mihelic. Learning the difference, she said, "Oh, no, we never touch the ball." She had "chipped well" and "it was one of those days." But when another player and an Eagle Falls employee reported seeing her make higher scores than she reported, the pro decided he would not legitimize the round. "I didn't post the 61."
I'm nominating our West Coast Bureau Chief Chris to challenge Ms. Gagne to a competitive match play round. We need blow the cover off this national disgrACE.

From Miguel:
Jacqueline Gagne is one crazy bitch.
Dav can T-flow with the best of them, but no one T-flows on golf...esp. holes in one.
plus she's playing the from the Jewish retired ladies tees which are exactly 12 feet from every hole.
move back to some real tees honey and see what happens.
Martin, go play this chick.
I'm currently listening to the you tube radio show concerning this Wacko-line Gone-yay's bogus story. I am going to have to look her up and set up a tee time. I'll let you know how it goes...but judging (and speculating) by how she plays golf and the crazies she's getting to attest her rounds--I might just make a deal with her and walk away with an attested hole-in-one myself and bring TNH's editorial staff's total up to an uneven 3.
I call!

OK, this lady is certifiably crazy. I think it would be a fascinating social experiment if we could get Dav and her together for a round. I'm guessing Jackie would have 12 holes in one, and Dav would probably have her attesting to his 59. The T-Flows out of that group would be a freakin' tsunami.
Ask anyone. The T-flows are at an all-time low. Stop hating.
