A golfer faked a HOLE-IN-ONE… and the whole thing was caught on camera. 😳
Episode 11 starts with one of the craziest golf cheating stories we’ve heard. A former college golfer went ahead of his group on a par 3, dropped his ball into the cup and then claimed an ace. There was just one problem: CCTV caught the whole thing.

That gets Brett and Jake into a bigger conversation about cheating, scramble scores and why integrity still matters in golf.
Then we get into our own golf, and there’s a LOT to talk about.
We played the Chestertown Volunteer Fire Department charity scramble at Cronin’s Golf Resort, where we finished third, laughed considerably more than we probably hit good shots and were reminded why Cronin’s is such a great place for a golf event.
Then it was time for the two-day Club Championship at our home course, Brookhaven Golf Course.
Brett walked away as the net club champion, Jake finished fifth gross, and our group got to experience something neither of us expected: Peter making a REAL hole-in-one on No. 5.
From Brookhaven, we turn to the US Am Tour Albany Region.
We got a preview round at Wyndhurst Manor & Club in Lenox, Mass., before heading to Wiltwyck Golf Club in Kingston, N.Y., where Jake went into the tournament with one goal: break 100.
He shot 97.
And walked away with his SECOND US Am Tour victory of the season.
We also get into one of our strangest Rules of the Day yet.
Yes, there’s actually a rule for that.
