Prince Albert man records second hole-in-one of summer

Prince Albert’s Ashley Ziegeman achieved an impressive feat, recording his second hole-in-one of the summer at Cooke Municipal Golf Course on Sunday.

His second hole-in-one was recorded on No. 8 on Sunday morning, a little more than a month since his first on July 5 on No. 14.

Ziegeman said over his 30 years of golfing he has been close to achieving a hole-in-one but was starting to doubt if it would ever happen.

This weekend he was playing in a tournament at Cooke Municipal and he said they had a closest-to-the-pin challenge.

“When I hit (the ball) it was right at it and actually I called it right in the air. I was like, ‘Go in, baby. That’s going in,’ ” Ziegeman said. “It bounced and it spun up beside the hole and right in the side door it spun in.”

He added he and the group he was playing with couldn’t contain their excitement.

“I speared my club into the ground. I turned around and all the boys had their arms up in the air and we were screaming and fist-bumping,” he explained. “I guess people on the third hole could hear the commotion and that’s a few hundred yards away.”

He added the first hole-in-one was like his latest shot except he couldn’t tell if his first one went in or not.
