The Aces at OGA!

The OGA golf course located in Woodburn, Oregon is one of just a few golf courses that has five par three holes. Most courses have four. 

Two members of the OGA Men’s Club have achieved an extraordinary accomplishment. Each achievement is based on not only the number of holes in one that they have but also how they got them. 

Phil Chun and Ron Olson are longtime members of the OGA Men’s Club and seem to control the number of holes in one here at the OGA Club. As crazy or strange as it may seem they have a combined total of sixteen aces. What are the odds of that? But the hole in one story gets even more interesting. 

Phil has five aces on the same hole, number seventeen, and one ace on number six. Each of his aces on number seventeen was achieved using a different club! Every time Phil gets to hole seventeen his playing partners wonder if ace number six will happen. Phil is quite the competitor and is always a threat when he stands at the tee box on a par three. 

Ron Olson, also a longtime member at OGA has a total of ten holes in one. Eight were at the OGA course. The really amazing thing is that he has had an ace at each of the five par threes at OGA. Also, this year Ron had two aces on number three within two weeks of each other. 

We have a great Men’s Club at the OGA course. The Club sponsors a weekly Wednesday game and hosts a few monthly weekend tournaments. The Wednesday game maintains a large and growing “hole in one pot” where all members in the tournament have a chance to win. This year we are still waiting… The odds of an amateur golfer making a hole in one are about 1 in 12,500. 

Based on their achievements Phil and Ron are known as “the Aces at OGA”.
