Bloomer Gets Hole-In-One
On September 12, in a golf match against Mechanicville, Hoosick Falls Central School junior Ryan Bloomer had the ultimate tee shot on the seventh hole.
“As soon as I hit it,” said Bloomer, “I knew I had used the right club – it just felt right. I saw the ball kicking towards the flag and then I heard my dad and Coach Lynch shouting.”
They were celebrating Bloomer’s hole-in-one on the 207 yard, par 3 hole at the Hoosick Falls Country Club. The “right club” was Bloomer’s six iron. This is the first hole-in-one in competition in recorded HFCS history.
Said his coach, James Lynch, “Ryan sets an excellent example for a team full of young golfers. He works very hard and it is nice to see that hard work translating to success on the course.”
“I’ve been playing since I was two years old,” stated Bloomer. “My golf set was my favorite toy growing up.
“My dad has come to every match I’ve ever played,” he added. “He’s my greatest supporter. We were both so excited that the ball went in the hole. It was a great feeling.”
