Pro Dave Twohig presents Kris Carver with the recognition of his albatross on No.  16 made during the 2014 Steam Boat event.

With an eagle scored by Jeff Gold a couple of groups in front of him, Kris started his 16th hole with a quiet 295 yard drive that left him with 230 yards to the hole.  He said to his partner Jeff Edwards that he thought he could get there with a 3 iron. He picked the right club, striking Gold, as this shot ended going into the hole for a duce.  An albatross (3 under par on a Par 5) is very rare and the Amherst Golf Club isn’t aware of another recorded on our 7th Hole.

Kris was presented with a trophy followed by a big round of applause by the 2015 Steam Boat participants.
