Hole in One

Jim Pfrogner, a long-time NALG member and many time division national champion from Sarasota, FL has recorded his 14th career hole-in-one. That's not a typo.... that indeed is #14 for Jim!

Jim's ace was achieved on November, 24th 2024 on the tough Par 3 17th hole on the Champions course at Palm Aire CC in Sarasota, FL. Jim made his ace using a 4-hybrid from the tees set 155 yards from the cup.

Congratulations Jimmy!!

Please let Sid Miner know of your hole-in-ones, tournament wins and/or other accomplishments so we can properly recognize your feats.
