Reagan Kennedy, 6, sinks hole-in-one

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- A 6-year-old golfer sank a hole-in-one on a course in central Illinois and calmly walked back to her cart.

Why such a quiet reaction? Reagan Kennedy's father, Steven, had told her not to make a lot of noise on the course.

But 13-year-old Cheyenne Broquard says she told her younger sister that a hole in one was the one time a golfer could be excused for making a little noise.

The Bloomington Pantagraph reports that Kennedy made the 85-yard shot on the third hole at The Links at Ireland Grove last week.

Mother Erin Kennedy says her husband started to put a golf club in Reagan's hands when she was only 2.

Reagan Kennedy has played in some small tournaments, finishing third last month at the Country Youth Classic.

Steven Kennedy is also an avid golfer, who shot a hole-in-one back in 1990.

Reagan Kennedy says she's now working toward her ultimate golf goal -- beating her father.
