He faked a hole in one. Now he’s paying for it
At WingHaven Country Club, a wild cheating scandal unfolded that ended with a radio confession
Being labeled a cheater on the golf course is a black mark that’s virtually impossible to remove. Whether it’s a wild cheating scandal at Q School or someone fluffing their lie during a Saturday morning scramble, cheating in golf isn’t new.
But what happened recently at WingHaven Country Club near St. Louis rocked the local golf scene and is spreading after the culprit went on ESPN Radio in St. Louis to confess.
To set the scene, the events happened during a member-member championship at WingHaven last weekend. The golfer in question, who we won’t name to avoid piling on, is a plus-2 handicap and played college golf at a junior college before having what he described to ESPN as “a cup of coffee” at Eastern Illinois University. At the WingHaven event, there was a hole-in-one pot. The golfer in question was in the first tee time of the day, which he learned before the round. He told his group before they teed off that his grandmother had been having health issues and he was expecting a phone call that he might have to take. On the third green, the golfer told his group he got the call. So he ran up to the fourth tee box and teed off to keep up the pace of play. He told his group he’d meet them on the tee when he’d finished his call.

Cheating scandal rocks golf club as player confesses on national radio
Cheating is hardly new in club golf. Hey, maybe even you’ve been guilty of throwing one down in the thick stuff every now and then. (Don’t worry, we’re all friends.) But this story coming out of St Louis is an absolute doozy.
As these things so often do, word started spreading first through WingHaven Country Club, then St Louis itself, Missouri, the United States and, when the culprit went on ESPN to fess up, the globe.
“It’s kind of a tough question to answer because it’s all self-inflicted,” Zach Holland told The Morning After STL‘s Tim McKernan after the host asked him how he is doing, before revealing that he is currently on vacation with his family – “not that I can call it that right now”.
