True story from a member at Lakewood Hills in San Diego: their playing partner genuinely hit a hole-in-one on hole 11 — and nobody saw it, because Sophie, 25, their caddie for the day, had just laughed at something and the entire group had rotated 90 degrees in her direction. The ball went in the cup alone, witnessed by nobody but God and one very smug squirrel. (A rules official had to be called. It was a whole thing.) Sophie, for her part, is a kinesiology student at USD who caddies three days a week and could probably carry the bag one-handed. She grew up on a course in New Zealand and has a scratch handicap that she almost never mentions because she's polite like that. Almost.
