Leader board updates

First, Brendon Todd made a hole-in-one on the 147 yard 17th hole at the Jennings Mill Country Club course.  Now one hole-in-one, while exciting, is not historical.  But Todd made Nationwide Tour history with today’s hole-in-one since it was the same hole on which he aced the day before.  Two holes-in-one on the same hole on consecutive days.  Most folks go their whole life without 1 whole in one, much less within 24 hours.

The second story is a bit more somber.  Bill Murray, of Caddyshack fame, hooked a tee shot so badly in a Pro-Am event on Friday that he hit a woman in her front yard.  The woman was knocked down and had to go to the hospital.  Murray was on the 9th tee at the TPC Tampa Bay when he struck the lady.  Ironically, the woman and her husband were coming out of their house to make their way over to the course to see if they could catch a glimpse of Murray.  Normally, I’d be worried that karma would find a way to pay Bill back, but he’s already set to receive total consciousness on his death bed.  So, he’s got that going for him.
