HALIFAX — Twenty years of chasing a little white ball around a golf course culminated this week in five dizzying days of excitement for Adam Sams.
The 34-year-old lobster fisherman has hit three holes-in-one since Friday at the Highlands Links course in Cape Breton, one of Canada’s most famed public courses.
“It’s pretty amazing. We’ve never seen anything like that around here,” says Joe Robinson, the Links’ pro, who has worked at the historic course in Cape Breton Highlands National Park for 38 years.
The full story reports there was foul language usage and Jack Daniels drinkage (good form, CanWestNews Service, good form).
As a golfer who would love like any other golfer to do this once before I die, I find Sams’ quote zen-like:
“The sun was shining in our eyes, so I saw the ball roll towards the hole, but I couldn’t tell if it had gone in,we didn’t really know until I got up to the green…My first reaction was: ‘There’s eight guys I’ve now got to buy drinks for.’ “
No art on the Canuck miracle lobsterman Adam Sams yet, but I’ve got a picture in mind.
