The Fifteenth Annual Junior Achievement Free Enterprise Cup Golf Classic turned out to be lucky for golfer Greg Boggs of Sara Lee Bakery Group, who sank a hole-in-one on hole #4 at Council Fire to win a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L.
Boggs, who has been golfing since he was eight, said, “I’ve come close in the past, but today I sank one, and on the car hole!”
The feat was witnessed by volunteer Linda Hisey of Blood Assurance, and Junior Achievement Marketing Director Damien Power. Power described hearing a loud thump as the golf ball struck the green, and bounced directly into the hole. “I’ve never seen anything like it, and we weren’t sure that we saw, so both Linda and I crept up to the hole to make sure. Linda looked in, and there it was!” she said.
In the history of Junior Achievement’s Free Enterprise Cup Golf Classic, this marks the second time a hole-in-one had been sunk, but the first time a car has been won.
Economy Honda sponsored the Hole with a fully loaded steel blue metallic Honda Pilot EX-L. “My wife and I were just discussing a new car, this was perfect timing,” said Boggs.
The Free Enterprise Cup Golf Classic is Junior Achievement of Chattanooga’s flagship event, celebrating its fifteenth year at the Council Fire Golf Club. The event hosted 120 golfers from 30 teams including golfers from Chattanooga’s professional, service, industrial, manufacturing and financial businesses.
