3rd Hole ~ 5 Iron ~ 135 yards
Witnessed by Brian Kinsley, Chuck Dudley, & Terry Dudley
On Friday, August 26, 1994 Brian and Martha Kinsley were playing in the ‘Nine and Dine’ with Terry and Chuck Dudley. The format was a scramble. At the first tee, Chuck announced that the group should try to get birdies on every hole. They all jokingly agreed to his announcement, but thought it next to impossible.
As it turned out, the team did get birdies on 6 holes, parred 2, and Martha had a hole-in-one on Hole 3. Terry and Martha were both putting so well that the men each had to sink only one putt. Chuck was so excited with the team score; they shot a 28! Not realizing how well they had done, Chuck was clear in letting his team know what a special night it was. He deemed the evening “Our Divine Nine – The most incredible nine holes of golf we have ever witnessed… (much less to have participated in).”
As the group reminisced, Chuck was able to provide a blow-by-blow account of their nine holes of golf with the greatest of detail. Memories of the evening of August 26, 1994 will always be there with vivid recall—a very special time together!!

Martha Kinsley shares more of the story for this historic Hole-In-One night at OCC.
Brian Kinsley’s brother Brent was in the group behind the “Divine Nine” group and behind him was Robert Delisle, Peter Bergmans, and Derek Doran. Robert also shot a hole-in-one on Hole 3.
Back then Hole-In-One Insurance covered everyone’s drinks back at the clubhouse. That night there were two free drinks for everyone.
