Keyman hits rare albatross
Joel Keyman, of Brandon, achieved a rare feat on the golf course – an albatross – on Sunday, Sept. 3. Using a driver and an 8-iron, Keyman carded a 2 on the par 5 No. 8 at the Brandon Golf Course.
Andrew Bauer, assistant golf pro at the BGC, said Keyman is the fourth golfer in the club’s history to achieve the feat.
This scoring term, which represents three strokes under par on a single hole, is extremely difficult to achieve, according to Golf Week. The National Hole in One Association, which tracks holes-in-one and sets odds for the feat, states that an albatross is less likely than an elusive hole-in-one. The association sets a golfer’s odds of making a hole-in-one at 12,700 to 1 or, for a professional, 3,700 to 1. The odds of achieving an albatross, meanwhile, are set at 6 million to 1.

About 15 minutes into the second half, on a breakaway from the Bobcat defense, BV junior forward Ethan Akin connected to tie the game.
Two minutes later, Brookings struck the BV goal to post a 2-1 advantage.
With three minutes to play, Brookings scored a third time for the 3-1 win.
