Immaculate Freshman Scores Hole-in-One

DANBURY-  What a day for a budding young golfer! The Immaculate Varsity Golf Team’s freshman Desmond Bremner of Redding had his first hole-in-one during a match on September 19 against Stratford’s Bunnell High School at Richter Park Golf Course in Danbury.

According to Golf Digest, the average golfer has a 1 in 12,500 chance of making a hole in one. It happened at Hole 5 with a 6 iron at a distance of 165 yards. Bremner’s playing partner was Senior Captain Aiden Henn of Danbury.

Immaculate has reported Desmond’s achievement to the CIAC. They keep a record of every varsity ace ever made.

“We are incredibly proud of Desmond and our entire golf team,” said George Bielizna, Immaculate’s golf coach. “The hole was cut top-right, the most difficult pin location on Hole 5 by a large margin. So this was no easy feat!”

Immaculate’s Varsity Golf Team’s record is now 7-1.
