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.
