  Five-year-old hits hole-in-one
Sept. 8: One year after being introduced to golf by his father, an Illinois kindergartner hits his first hole-in-one. KSDK's Ryan Dean has the details.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. - Look out Tiger Woods, 5-year-old Drew Gray’s got game.

The kindergartner had a hole-in-one — though it doesn’t count because it was on par-3 course — last week on the 75-yard, fifth hole at Yorktown Golf Club. The shot was witnessed by several family members and verified by course owner John Bethard.

Drew is the youngest player to ace a hole at the course, Bethard said. Drew has been playing golf on family outings for two years. He played this summer in the club’s golf camp for 4-to-8-year-olds, Bethard said.
