So… how often does YOUR golf season start with a hole-in one??

Prep golfers are the first fall athletes to compete, and AURORA CENTRAL’s JACOB NARVAEZ got off to a great start. “I was standing on the 18th green waiting for him”, explains coach LARRY TAYLOR, “when I get a phone call from his dad, asking me if it’s true that Jacob had just scored a hole-in-one. That was the first I heard about it!”.

And, yes, it was true. When Narvaez hit a wedge from 124 yards on the par three 5th hole at the Creekside Course at Kennedy, he couldn’t see the green. Then, when he and his playing partners got to the green, they couldn’t see his ball. Finally, after an extensive search, they looked in the hole and there it was. “He was one happy camper.”

Narvaez is a junior who just missed state last year. He’s also the ace on Central’s pitching staff.
