“Michael Li gets his ball out of the cup as his Little Linksters playing partners look on. Michael had his hole in one on #7 at Longwood Country Club from 118 yards. Way to go, Michael” (STPGA Newsletter). Michael L, 6th grade student at The Village School, made his first hole in one on Sunday, September 13th, at a Junior Golf tournament at Longwood Country Club. This is an INCREDIBLE achievement. Golfers can go an entire lifetime and never make a hole in one. Congratulations to Michael. I’m sure that ball will go in a nice display case for you to enjoy for the rest of your life. The Village School golf team can’t wait to have this youngster on the team! Congratulations, Michael!
