Last Friday it was our intention to put together a post recognizing the first known hole-in-one in golf history by Young Tom Morris.
While compiling information for the post, we ran into a snag. Through research, we found conflicting dates as to when the hole-in-one actually occurred.
Some publications referenced the 1868 Open Championship at Prestwick (including the World Golf Hall of Fame website), while others had it as the 1869 Open, also at Prestwick.
