Kasey Liebeg Yes, I did get a hole in one on Monday, May 14th, at the Chaska Town Course. I'm a sophomore at Chanhassen High School. I am on the golf team and was golfing in a conference match when it happened. It was on hole #14, which is a par 3, 157-yard hole and I used a pitching wedge. John Maertens from Chaska's team was in my foursome and told me, "Dude, you just got a hole in one." It's never happened to me before and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was in shock. My parents built our house in Deer Run sixteen years ago when they were expecting me, so I guess you could say I've grown up on the Deer Run Golf Course. I've been up at the driving range since I could hold a club. I've worked at the course the past three years and have made some of my closest friends through golf. I really enjoy golf, wish I was better, but that's what practice is for, right? Thanks so much for your interest, Sue. This was a blessing for me to get, but the true blessing has been in the excitement and kindness so many people have shown me. Kasey Liebeg Victoria, Minnesota
