The mandatory cigar is called for

Sometimes life does have those movie moments when everything works out perfectly.

On the afternoon of June 24, Steve Corr, a retired police captain from Lexington, was playing the second day in the two-day member-guest tournament at the Lexington Country Club.

At around 3:30 p.m., Corr was at the 17th hole when he shot a hole-in-one. "I've never had a hole-in-one," before said Corr.

Corr and his partner, Steve Thompson, celebrated Corr's shot all the way to the 18th hole. When they arrived, several staff members were at the hole waiting. Thinking they had just heard about his perfect shot, Corr thanked them for coming out. It was then he learned they had a completely different message.

Minutes before, while Corr was sinking his great shot, Corr's wife had called the club house with a message for her husband: Their daughter had just given birth to their first granddaughter.

Corr and Thompson went on to win their match and the title in their bracket. With much to celebrate, all went to clubhouse for some drinks and the mandatory cigars.
