Bob Fitchett, 71, waited a long time for his first hole-in-one but he got it on Wednesday at the Meridian Valley Country Club in Kent.

He shot it on the third hole, 158 yards out with a 6-iron, said Tyler Clavin of the Meridian Valley Country Club.

His twin brother Bill Fitchett was among the witnesses. Bob Fitchett has witnessed three of his brother’s four hole-in-ones so was happy to finally hit one himself.

Fitchett hit the shot during a practice round of the Men’s Member Guest Tournament.
