So why am I reporting it? Drummond is blind, and the United States Blind Golfers Association believes she is the first totally blind female to record a hole-in-one. Her husband and coach, Keith, and two friends playing in a steady rain witnessed the shot.

Practice Tip
PGA golf professional Tim Graves with the Graves Golf Academy spent some time during the recent PGA Championship watching the pros practice. He made two keen observations. First, "at least 9 out of 10 of the professionals on the range had at least one alignment-type tool on the ground when they were practicing. Some were as simple as a golf club pointed to the target, some much more elaborate devices." Second, "without exception, more time was spent on the short game practice area than the driving range. Time was spent working on putting, chipping, pitching and bunker play."
