Man buys drinks for entire flight after making hole-in-one, earns instant legend status
Admittedly, we don't know much about the hero of this story. Well, we know that his name is Tod. And that he recently made a hole-in-one. And that, most importantly, he went well above and beyond the typical buy-a-round-of-drinks move after you make a hole-in-one.
We know all this thanks to our Hally Leadbetter, who happened to be on a flight with Tod on Tuesday night. First, Hally reported that Tod announced he was buying shots for everyone on the plane.
Tod! What a baller move! And then, Hally, getting practice for one of her many gigs, conducted a post-round post-flight interview with him:
OK, so we also learned that Tod dresses pretty snazzy for flights. What a stud. Oh, and that the first hole of his life wasn't just any hole-in-one.
Tod knocked it in on No. 4 at San Francisco Golf Club (NBD) from the back tees measuring 225 (Also, NBD). Don't be embarrassed about "choking down" (sure) on a 3-wood, Tod. That's a big-time ace!
And as you can see in the clip, Tod got as big of a surprise as the rest of the passengers who got free drinks when none other than LPGA legend Michelle Wie, a friend of Hally's, filmed the interview. Talk about a day to remember. Congrats—and cheers—to Tod, indeed.
