Hole-In-One
---------------
...what everybody is dreaming about but very few have or will experience!!!
However, in BGC’s history and within the arranged tournaments we have seen FIVE
of them. All these people are to be congratulated immensely for the rest of
their lives.
We are
actively collecting information to complete this history of BGC Hole-in-Ones.
If there is anything you remember and/or would like to add to this, please send
us an email so we can update it and make it as complete as possible.

199x – Ken Cummings, Beijing Country Club hole B5
(par 4) 275 yards from white tees. In those days, hole
B5 was a bit shorter at around 250 yards, nonetheless, this is the only
recorded BGC hole in one on a par 4. Club used: A persimmons headed 3 wood;
Ball used: X
·
199x – Marius Roest,
Beijing Country Club hole E8 (at that time hole A8),
185 yards from white tees. Club used: Driver into a stiff breeze; Ball used: X.
Marius’ ball hit the top of the flagstick and dropped straight down into the
hole. Jimmi Liu was in the same flight with Marius that day and Jimmi was so
flabbergasted that he did not say a word for 5 minutes after the Marius’ ball
dropped. The BGC Committee congratulates Marius on this unusual hole-in-one but
considers the achievement to get Jimmi to shut up for 5 minutes to be a bigger
sensation.

·
2006 – Alex Cheng, Jinghua

the America Team still lost to the ROW team. Wylie did win the hole though.
