Kid Golfer Aces Tiger Woods
Here's one for all the golfers out there, eagerly awaiting warmer weather and the golf that comes with it. This is the stuff a duffer's dreams are made of.
Tiger Woods was outside Houston yesterday, to commemorate a new golf course complex that he had a hand in designing at Bluejack National. Tiger was there for for the grand opening of The Playgrounds, a 10-hole grouping of par-3 holes that range in length between 53 and 102 yards. As you might imagine, Tiger drew a huge crowd of on-lookers, including many kids. One of those kids was about to experience a moment that he'll never forget (I'm sure the crowd won't be forgetting it anytime soon, either).
From PGA.com:
One of those kids was 11-year-old Taylor Crozier, who was announced to the crowd as having "perfect attendance in school this year – until today." Young Taylor might have missed some lessons, but safe to say he etched a pretty good chapter into his own personal history.
Taylor stepped up to hit the very first shot on the new course – it landed on the green, and spun right into the hole. So the first ace to be recorded at The Playgrounds came o the very first shot struck there – and it happened with Tiger standing right there.
The crowd went nuts when the ball disappeared into the cup, and Taylor got plenty of congratulations – including a big bear hug from Tiger. In fact, no one seemed happier than Tiger for the kid's special shot on this very special day.
Here's how it all went down:
