‘Get in the hole!’: Staff member at Kananaskis Country Golf Course nails an ace in her first round of golf

Kananaskis Country Golf Course employee Emma Strong (R), who's from Britain, celebrates getting a hole in one on the first Par-3 she's ever played recently.

A first-time golfer pulled off one of the unlikeliest holes-in-one in golf history recently at Kananaskis Country Golf Course.

Emma Strong came from Britain to work at the snack shack on the golf course in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains even though she had never played golf in her life.

Recently, her work colleagues convinced her golf can be fun when it’s not completely exasperating, so she agreed to give it a shot.

For her first par-3 of her life, the 99-yard long fourth hole, Strong decided to go with driver, figuring a first-timer needs all the club she can get.

As it turned out, it was exactly the right amount of club, as the ball found its way into the hole, setting off a celebration on the green.

It didn’t go as well on the next par-3, the sixth hole, but that’s golf.

“Emma is so understated and quite honestly was having a tough time grasping how unlikely it is to do what she did as she is a new golfer!” Kananaskis Golf Course posted on its Instagram page.

“If you see her in the snack shacks please share with her how great this accomplishment was and commend her on how quickly she has picked up the game!!”

CTV News has reached out Kananaskis Golf Course for comment, and whether Emma will reveal her secret to CTV Calgary’s Glenn Campbell, who has been golfing for decades and has a Golf Tips segment every week -- and has never made a hole-in-one.
