The latest word of hickory heroics comes from Shennecossett, Conn., where Jared Paletti of Pelham Manor, N.Y., holed out from the fairway to score an eagle on the par five 5th hole during the recent Smith-Collett Classic. This also landed him an elusive net albatross for the hole, which earned a whopping eight points under the Modified Stableford system the players were using. “I hit a 48-degree niblick from the fairway about 105 yards out,” Jared says. “It was a high lofted shot that landed softly on the green before dribbling a few feet into the hole.” 

And that’s how it’s done, people. As easy as a tap-in when you have the touch.
