Bob Hope holes in one at 90 years old

Back in december 1993 i worked at the fabled Canyon South g.c. in Palm Springs , this happened to be Bob Hopes favourite course , a place he frequented often simply because it was near his house and no one would bother him whilst there . Each time he arrived he would pull into the parking lot , get in a cart with his driver (the kind that starts the car and stops at red lights) and off they'd go for a quick 9 holes.

On this particular afternoon Bob would ace the 8th hole , a 150 yarder using a driver (the callaway kind) he nailed the tee shot then watched as it skipped across the pond , up and over a bank onto the green and finally into the cup. After playing he excitedly shared his joy with the assistant starter the legendary" jack n' coke Jeff" then trundled accross the street to the Canyon C.C. for his usual 2 brandy alexanders.
"Jack n' coke Jeff" felt compelled to call the Desert Sun newspaper and share the moment , and they graciously put an article on the front page of their sports section to Honor a great moment for Palm Springs most famous golfer........
