Golfers Record 85 Holes-in-One Including Rare Back-to-Back Aces at Edgewood

Several notable golf events and experiences have recently brought communities together through the sport. In Pinehurst, North Carolina, a group of 32 golfers, including Greensboro’s Len Barnes, annually travel to prestigious courses such as Pebble Beach and Whistling Straits, with their latest trip revisiting Pinehurst and plans to visit French Lick, Indiana next year. The Tacoma-Pierce County Athletic Commission hosted the Doug McArthur Golf Classic, a non-competitive, community-focused fundraiser playing nine holes of par 3 golf, raising about $10,000 and emphasizing fun and camaraderie over competition. Meanwhile, in Fargo, a remarkable string of eight holes-in-one were reported in a ten-day span, including a rare back-to-back holes-in-one by two players in consecutive groups at Edgewood Golf Course, an event with extraordinarily low odds. Additionally, Kiama Golf Club is set to host a community celebration featuring live entertainment and activities aimed at inclusivity and connection, supported by local council grants to promote accessibility. These events highlight golf’s role in fostering community spirit, enjoyment, and charitable support.
