NORTH HAMPTON — No golfer under the age of 20 has ever hit a hole-in-one at Sagamore-Hampton Golf Club — until now.
Ryan Quinn, the 10-year-old North Hampton School fourth-grader, and his father, Tim, were playing their weekly 18 holes at their favorite course this past Sunday. Both were having good rounds with two holes to play.
Ryan stepped up to the red tee box on the par-3, 164-yard 17th hole and took out his 3-wood. Both he and his father knew he hit it well and the ball kept going straight at the pin. The drive landed about eight feet from the pin and rolled into the cup for the youngster’s first hole-in-one and the first one of the season at Sagamore.
Someone should tell this kid to quit while he’s ahead. It’s all downhill from here. It won’t be long before he’s got a $250 a week golf habit and starts looking up to John Daly as an idol, and…you know the rest of the story.
