Two hole-in-ones. One summer.
What sounds like a dream for most golfers has come true for one very young enthusiast, 13-year-old Krosby Jackman from Moose Jaw, Sask.
Jackman said he made his second ace of the summer, a 100-yard shot, at Madge Lake Golf Resort last week.
“I was just playing by myself, so I was just videoing every hole for fun,” Jackman said.
“I set up the camera on my cart wheels. I used the pitching wedge and I shot it and I couldn’t really see the hole cause there’s a bit of a hill, and I was so excited that it went in.”

Watch 13-year-old Krosby Jackman hit his second hole-in-one of the summer.
He said first hole-in-one of the season came closer to home for him at the Hillcrest Golf Club in Moose Jaw.
“I was with a couple of buddies and they’re just playing around and we’re making some TikToks and then we were playing from the yellows on hole five,” Jackman said. “I shot an 8 iron, and it was one pop and it went in. It was really exciting. My heart was definitely beating for the first one.”

Jackman said his biggest mentor in the sport has been his grandma Lorie Boyle. She still competes in provincial tournaments, and has been inducted into the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame, and the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame.
Jackman’s mother Jasmine Cameron is the general manager at Hillcrest, and said she’s had her boy golfing since he was just two years old.
“He’s been lucky enough to be able to come with me to the course and have a membership here and work on those skills,” Cameron said. “If he could live at the golf course, he would. I’m surprised we don’t have a bed here for him.
Jasmine Cameron said that her son would golf with anyone that wants to play and has a strong sense of etiquette. (Alex Kozroski)
She said she was working in the pro shop the day of Jackman’s fire ace. He called her to share the news.
“He says, ‘bring some Powerades to celebrate with my buddies.’ So I went out there, got a few pictures. That was pretty awesome.”
Jackman said his plans for the future are to play two rounds a day every day, get good grades and try to get a post-secondary scholarship.
