First The Goal, now The Ace

From washingtoncaps.com:

Alex Ovechkin hit a hole in one during the Caps Care Classic at the Springfield Golf and Country Club in Springfield, Va., today. Ovechkin took a shot on the par-3, 160-yard fourth hole that landed short of the green and rolled in.

Apparently he had been swinging the clubs around for a while, but still- how often does that happen? Still, who's surprised that Ovechkin would do that. And speaking of the Caps, I did a season preview of the team over at Sports Fan Magazine.

More photos from the day:

(as interesting as Ovie's outfit is, Semin's "pants" are just as hott. Is it a Russian thing?)

He's lucky AND good...

For his next trick, he'll sink one from midcourt during halftime at a Les Boulez game.

This is kind of upsetting, actually. I was told that his golf swing was a terrible eyesore. And now he's hitting a hole in one? I can't even do that, and my swing looks pretty.

biff - don't you see that pic, he's wacking at it like he is Happy Gilmore!

"Oh, man. That was so much easier than putting. I should just try to get the ball in one shot every time."
