A hole-in-one is a rare feat, but a hole-in-one with a driver? Fuhgeddaboudit.
That is, unless you’re Craig Stadler. Not only does the 68-year-old have a green jacket in his closet, but now he’s also one of the rare few who’s made a hole-in-one with a driver.

In a video posted on Twitter by Dan Boever, the entertainer challenges Stadler to tee off on a 169-yard par-3 with a driver. What happened next seems like pure sorcery.
“This is your world, not mine,” Stadler says. “Forcing me to hit drivers.”
Stadler then takes the club back, and wipes across the ball to hit a high cut straight at the green. When the camera cuts to a view behind the green, you see the ball land, ride up a slope, come back down and then disappear into the cup.
“Fellas, is this one of the great moments of your life?” Boever asks.
“I’m blown away, never seen a hole-in-one,” one man says. “Let alone with driver!”
