What do you guys think about 10 aces?

I haven't seen anyone post this so here it is, WOW!!!!!

Unbelievable!


ESPN.com: Strege: Gagne has tons of ones

Unbelievable is right. If they'd stopped at 3 I might have believed it a little. No fricken way. I can drop balls all over the stick on the 110 and 140 yd. greens at the range all day long and I've never made 1. She's hitting a 13* 3W into a lot of these it says? I'd put my $$ she couldn't hit the GIR 10 times in 80 in real rounds of golf, much less hole out 10 out of 80.

I believe it, it seems like there's witnesses to most of them.She has crazy luck getting holes in one by banging balls off of trees, winning 650 bucks in slot machines...

In the time of Harry Houdini there were a lot of 'psychics' running around the country. The more famous ones having quite a lot of witnesses as to their skills.

Harry Houdini HATED mystics/psychics with a passion and used his knowledge to debunk any he could challenge. He never failed.

Not saying the witnesses were lying as to the psychic abilities, they probably truly believed, just saying people can be tricked. How hard is it to step on a ball, say "hey check that backside bunker?" and suddenly you have a hole in 1?

I have a hard time buying it...

And in one of the stories she said she actually has 12 but only counts ten because of the aces weren't the first ball she hit of the tee.

She is catching alot of heat by the sound of it.

There is an article in this week's Golf World about her. Some of those aces were shot in tournament rounds with plenty of witnesses. I just take it as a streak of luck. She is something like an 8 handicap with over 80 rounds played since January so hitting the greens is not too much of an issue. Either its the real deal or she is running one amazing slight of hand trick with a ton of accomplices. I would lean towards it is just a lucky streak.

as much as i hate to believe it, i do... she is probably just a really lucky person...

says she has prepared well and is hitting more quality shots, etc, etc. I doubt if any golfer, pro or amateur, ever had a streak like the one described. The slot machine thing added on has nothing to do with the hole-in-ones.

The approach to the probability of this happening might be a little faulty. The odds should probably be figured on the issue of with the total number of golfers playing golf so many holes in a given period, what are the odds of one of those golfers doing such a thing? It is still very far out there. It will be interesting to see how many additional aces she makes now that scrutiny may be more severe.

Have to be a Skeptic on this one. The Zone she is in, if this is true, needs to be scientificly investigated. A fellow told me the other day that he had had six aces on this one hole, but he is a known liar and nobody takes him seriously. This is sort of different, but still difficult to accept. I hope they are still probing for the truth one way or another.

I find it interesting that about half the people don't believe 1/4 do and 1/4 don't care.
