From Tee to Truck: Hole-in-One at The Trestle Creek Shootout

The Trestle Creek Shootout at Trestle Creek Golf Resort in Entwistle, Alberta, proved to be more than just a scenic summer tournament—it was the site of an unforgettable moment, powered by the generous support of Koch Ford Lincoln. As a proud sponsor of the event, Koch Ford Lincoln offered a thrilling prize: a lease on a brand-new Ford F-150 for any golfer who scored a hole-in-one on Creekside Hole #7. And that’s exactly what happened when Ken Varley stepped up to the tee.

On that warm, sunlit day, Ken made the swing of a lifetime. Armed with his trusty 4-hybrid, he sent the ball soaring toward the flagstick. One of his teammates recalled, “It flew straight toward the pin, landed just in front of it, took a couple of small hops, and then dropped right in.” Cheers erupted as the group realized what had just happened—Ken had sunk his very first hole-in-one, and in doing so, he claimed the coveted F-150 prize.

The moment not only marked a personal milestone for Ken, but it also highlighted the excitement and generosity that local businesses like Koch Ford Lincoln bring to community events. Their ongoing commitment to supporting amateur sports and community engagement was felt throughout the day, elevating the tournament experience for players and spectators alike.

With pristine fairways, great competition, and that unforgettable ace on Hole #7, the Trestle Creek Shootout was a resounding success. Congratulations to Ken Varley on his incredible achievement, and a heartfelt thank-you to Koch Ford Lincoln for helping make it all possible.
