394 Yard Hole In One!

What’s the world’s longest hole in one on record? US Hole In One was able to discover that, back in July of 2002 in Colorado, one man drove the ball 517 yards on a par 5 hole and made a hole in one! Now the following story doesn’t qquite match up to the 500+ yard ace, however Tim Dougherty has a lot to brag about with his almost 400 yard hole in one.

Dougherty, an American from Iowa, was visiting New Zealand and playing Shandon Golf Club when the hole in one occurred. He hit a driver on the second hole, 394 yards, to score an ace on what is known as one of the courses hardest holes. Dougherty did not see the ball go in the hole, he describes the flight of the ball as right to left and the group searched for the ball for about five minutes before deciding to look in the hole. Needless to say the group was in shock and amazement of the incredible shot.

Dougherty is known around the club house as a big hitter and his 6 ft 3 inch build helps with the power behind his drives. There was not much doubt that Dougherty could hit the ball that far but as the pro at the course Glenn Naylor describes, “to hit it 394 yards and get it within the confines of a hole is pretty amazing.” This was Dougherty’s first ace and it looks like with his power there will be plenty more to come!

Our Hole In One New Years Resolution

So dear readers, what is your New Year’s resolution? Is it to become a better person, or is it to become a better golfer? 2009 has been an interesting year. It saw the passing away of Michael Jackson and Brittany Murphy. It also saw the destruction of Tiger Woods’ false and squeaky clean image.

On the positive side of things, four golf major champions were rewarded for their stellar play in 2009. Angel Cabrera won the Masters. He was the last man standing, and the only one wearing the coveted green jacket after a three way playoff with Chad Campbell and Kenny Perry. Next up was the US Open where Lucas Glover’s ballstriking was second to none. Then came the British Open, where Stuart Cink came out on top, at the misery of Tom Watson. The PGA Championship ended the year as Y.E. Yang upset the tournament’s favorite, Tiger Woods.

There is one thing that we do know about 2009 and that is the fact that it was a good year for hole in one insurance.

Golf in 2010!

The New Year is almost upon us and we at Foresite Sports are wondering what golf in 2010 will be like. Will golf in 2009 be better than that in 2010 or will 2010 be better? Only time will tell.

What we do know is that the 2010 PGA Tour season will be exciting. Four Majors still have to be played which is a good thing. First the Masters in April, then the US Open at Pebble Beach in June. This will be followed by the British Open Championship in July which will be played at the home of golf, St Andrews. The PGA Championship will then be played at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. All this proves that 2010 will irrefutably be a good golfing year.

Hopefully, there will be a lot of holes-in-one in 2010. Holes-in-one, as you all know, are pretty exciting to watch on TV. Will they be on long holes or short ones? Also, will there be multiple hole in one shots at a tour event like at the 2009 BMW Championship. Will Leif Olson do the unthinkable and make another hole in one?

One thing that you can definitely bank on is that Foresite Sports will keep doing what it does best. Our hole in one insurance is available in all states. YES IN ALL STATES! So don’t miss out. Whatever prize you would like to give out, Foresite Sports can make it happen. Also you wouldn’t want any aces to go unrewarded. That’s what happens when there is no hole-in-one insurance and it’s not for the best. Making a hole in one is a special accomplishment but doing that with the bonus of receiving a prize has to be better. So, if you want to make the change, you can visit is online or you could call us at 888-882-5440. We really look forward to working with you.
