This Day in Golf--Oct. 7

An iconic moment in the world of golf feats took place on this date in 1965. Bob Mitera holed out his tee shot on the 447-yard 10th hole at Miracle Hill Golf Course in Omaha, Neb. The hole was originally listed at 444 yards but in 1976 the hole was re-measured and listed as 447. There has been plenty of intrigue about Mitera's ace over the years, but it has stood up as the longest straight hole-in-one ever.
