Radio Host Billy Bush Tells the “Greatest Hole-in-One Story Ever”

Radio and television host Billy Bush joined Chad Mumm and Wells Adams on this week’s episode of Skratch’s Vanity Index podcast and among a lot of other things (including how he beat John Elway in his member-guest,) told the greatest hole-in-one story of all-time.

My transcript doesn’t do this tale justice. You have to watch Billy tell it—the story starts at around the 46-minute mark.

“Maidstone…You gotta mary into this place. Gorgeous little beach club, the beautiful dunes right there on the Atlantic Ocean, East Hampton, Long Island. Stunning.

“They have their big Member-Guest. I know the guy’s name, I don’t want to say it because I don’t want to kill him, but his name’s Pete. Finance guy, super power golfer, loves it. Goes out, he’s a guest, and they’re kicking ass in the tournament. They get to, I think it’s the 12th hole, which is a par-3. It is a hidden par-3. It goes up and over the dune, you can’t see the green.

“They all hit, they’re doing great. Pete hits, flies up—it’s flush, it’s a beauty, probably 140 yards. Everybody hits, they go up, and they’re walking around the green, he’s like, ‘What the fuck? I can’t find my ball.’

“He’s like, ‘I hit that perfectly, what the hell?’ So he starts walking around the edge, his caddie’s looking, everybody’s looking. He takes the ball outta his pocket, drops it right there on a nice, fluffy spot on top of a dune and he goes, ‘Okay, got it, all good!’

“So he flops his ball down onto the green, and then someone finds his original ball. Where was it? In the hole. He had a hole-in-one and he cheated. His host looked at him and said, ‘Get your bag, let’s go.’”

I mean, how good is that!?
