Shepard was hitting from the orange tees, which were placed 311 yards away from the green on this day.
“Then everybody on the green just threw their hands up and started cheering and yelling, ‘Hole-in-one’ so we would know it went in.”On the green with Latta and Price were Phillip Skipper and John Hammer. In the foursome with Shepard were Ryan Watson, Blake Turner and Dicky Turner.“It was a big draw and it just hit the hill right and rolled onto the green,” Shepard described. “Since they were putting, the flag stick was out.
“It actually hit off of the green and rolled back about 35 yards into the hole,” Shepard said of his first ace. “It was a pretty cool one to see, too … we saw that one go in.”
