“Sometime it’s better to be lucky than to be good” is how Victor Uriz summed up sinking a hole in one at Lake Tahoe Golf Course in Meyers.

The South Shore resident who has being playing golf for about eight years hit the shot Oct. 2 on hole 17.

Uriz’s sister, Cathy Darrough, and her husband, Terry Darrough, witnessed the event.

Uriz, who lives in the Angora burn area, told Lake Tahoe News he is not a very good golfer – “I’m out there hacking away a lot.”

The regular playing time and classes through Lake Tahoe Community College must have taught him something since his shot is something the pros rarely accomplish.
