This became reality for senior golfer Adam Gladue, 68, of McLennan at the Smoky River Regional Golf Course on August 7.

Chalifoux explained when Gladue teed off at Hole 2, he thought he had hit the ball to the right of the green. However, with closer observation, one of his golfing buddies actually found Gladue’s ball in the cup.
Hole 2 in McLennan is a par 3 with a distance of 151 yards.

Chalifoux says Gladue has only been hitting the links for about the past eight years.
