Barstool Sports’ Jersey Jerry’s 37-hour+ pursuit of hole-in-one has taken over the internet
Many golfers have been asked, “How many shots would it take for you to make a hole-in-one?” It’s a hard question to answer without trying to do it, so Jersey Jerry from Barstool Sports put himself to the test.
Barstool’s Chicago office has a full golf simulator, and Jerry spent more than 37 hours in there hunting down an ace. Yes, you read that correctly, 37 hours — he slept in there Wednesday night!
Throughout his battle, countless stars have shown their support on social media including Tom Brady, Max Homa and Brooks Koepka. Heck, even the PGA Tour YouTube account commented its support.
Well, 37 hours and 2,627 shots later, Jersey Jerry made an ace Thursday morning!
