# US golfer Zach Holland resigns after fake hole-in-one scandal 2026-08-11T00:52:39+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Amateur golfer Zach Holland has resigned his membership at WingHaven Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri, after admitting to staging a hole-in-one during a member-member tournament. The event had a prize pool for any golfer who recorded an ace, but security footage showed Holland driving to the fourth green before his scheduled tee time, then claiming he had holed out. Holland later told 101 ESPN St. Louis that his actions were "complete stupidity" and that there was no excuse. Club officials reviewed the footage, and Holland resigned immediately. The acting PGA of America president confirmed the club took action. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: golf cheating, hole-in-one scandal, US sports, WingHaven, Zach Holland Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-golfer-zach-holland-resigns-after-fake-hole-in-one-scandal/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
