A father and son outing turned into a memorable milestone after Bradford teen Atticus Moore recorded a hole in one on the 17th hole<\/p>\n
At 13, Atticus Moore has accomplished something most golfers don\u2019t achieve in their entire lives.<\/p>\n
Atticus scored a hole in one on the 17th hole at Crimson Ridge on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Astoundingly, it was only the second time he had played golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt felt great. It was a nice feeling. Can you imagine? The second time I ever played,\u201d Atticus told SooToday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was speechless.”<\/p>\n
Atticus used a seven iron for his hole-in-one shot.<\/p>\n
The 17th hole at Crimson Ridge is a par 3.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve been to the driving range a couple of times before but I’ve only really played golf starting this year,\u201d Atticus said.<\/p>\n
He played a round of golf at Crimson Ridge with his father, Bryan Moore.<\/p>\n
Atticus and Bryan, who joined a Sault couple to make up a foursome on Wednesday, are from Bradford, Ont.<\/p>\n
The Moore family was in town visiting Atticus\u2019 grandmother, a Sault resident.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn’t believe it,\u201d Bryan said of his son\u2019s hole in one.<\/p>\n
He said he\u2019s played golf since he was in his teens but has never gotten a hole in one.<\/p>\n
Does that inspire him to strive for one?<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, for sure,\u201d Bryan said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first Atticus didn’t really realize the magnitude of how rare it is to get a hole in one,\u201d Bryan said.<\/p>\n
He realizes it now though.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s been swinging his arms around like he’s got a golf club in his hands. We\u2019ve been to a driving range already today,\u201d Bryan said yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAtticus has got the itch for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
