At the official opening of the nine-hole compact course he designed at Harbor Shores Resort (Michigan), Colin Montgomerie scored two consecutive holes-in-one on his first two shots – the first with a borrowed chipper.

Some players cut a ribbon to inaugurate a course. Colin Montgomerie, however, preferred to sink two balls.

The World Golf Hall of Famer was present on Monday, July 7, in Benton Harbor, Michigan, for the official opening of the Wee Course, the nine-hole compact course he designed at Harbor Shores Resort. His first outing on the course will be remembered.

Colin Montgomerie, two holes-in-one in a row

«It was quite strange. We walked the first two holes and decided to hit a few shots.» I took one of Mr. Fettig’s clubs, a chipper, and decided to try from there, about 55 meters away. The ball found its way into the hole, he said. Then, incredibly, I did it again on the next hole. Two holes-in-one in the same day—it’s simply unbelievable.

Teasingly, he also slipped in a comparison with Jack Nicklaus, whose signature adorns the main course at Harbor Shores and who sank a 91-meter putt at its opening alongside Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, and Arnold Palmer. «A putt is something, but a hole-in-one? Come on, come on,» he quipped. «I think if you called Jack, he’d have to admit that a hole-in-one beats a putt, come on.»

Comprising nine holes ranging from 18 to 73 meters, the Wee Course is first and foremost a project to democratize golf. «I’ve designed courses all over the world, but seeing this one in operation today gives everyone an opportunity,» he confided. «And without opportunity, we don’t know the next Tiger Woods. Is he out there somewhere? Well, without opportunity, we’ll never know.» And this is all about Montgomerie and his holes in one.
