On a recent visit to a golf course, paralyzed golfer Frank Peter scored a hole-in-one on a Par 3 course.
Frank Peter, a 41-year-old man from Niagara Falls, Ontario, is still a newcomer to the putting green. But on a recent visit to the Legends on the Niagara golf course with his 17-year-old nephew, Peter made his first ever hole-in-one –a very impressive feat for a 139-yard, Par 3 hole.
“I have always dreamed of getting a hole-in-one. I grabbed the flag stick and yelled out a big, ‘woo hoo,’” he told The Toronto Sun.
Even more impressive, Peter teed off his perfect shot without the advantage of standing to line up the ball: He is paraplegic, and plays golf from a special cart called the SoloRider, which has a swivel seat to allow golfers with disabilities the flexibility to play the game.
According to SoloRider’s president, Roger Pretekin, Peter is the first golfer ever to land a hole-in-one from the innovative cart. And Pretekin seems to think that Peter’s star turn won’t be an isolated incident: “He is a superior athlete and a fine golfer, and someone very capable of making not just one, but many holes-in-one.”
Watch out, Tiger Woods.
