Man makes million dollar hole-in-one

That title should say it all, but if you're still wondering, we will give you a little more information on what happened at the Corley's Albuquerque Lincoln Volvo Golf Tournament last Thursday.

A man by the name of Jeff Barton was playing last week in the New Mexico event benefiting the East Mountain High School in Sandia Ridge, N.M., and had a shot after the round at the Paa-ko Ridge Golf Club for a chance at $1 million. The cash, covered by an insurance company, was up for grabs, and someone with a handy iPhone snapped the video of the ball landing on the green, rolling towards the cup and disappearing for an ace.

After the ball drops, the video gets as shaky as you'd expect from someone that just saw a man go from relative obscurity to millionaire, but you have to enjoy the entire crowd going insane after the ball disappeared.

Here was a tweet from someone that watched the ball go in, and then snapped a picture of it sitting in the cup.

Now we usually get fired up at hole-in-one stories here at Devil Ball, but the whole video reaction have us simply smiling at what happened to Mr. Barton and happy someone was smart enough to get the video camera rolling as it landed on the green.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image

When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
