A Hole in One For Shane DeVincenzo

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School’s Shane DeVincenzo recorded his first hole in one during a game against Mt. Sinai at the Port Jefferson Country Club on Oct. 8.

“Not many people can say they’ve made a hole in one, particularly during a competition,” said Coach Charles Ruoff. “Shane has quickly become one of the strongest players in our league as a ninth grader.”

DeVincenzo, who has been playing golf for the past two seasons, took the hole in one shot with a six iron on Hole #2, playing 166 yards. He then went on to shoot 33 for nine holes, barely missing a 15’ putt for 32.

“We are all very proud of Shane. He works really hard,” said Athletic Director Debra Ferry.

DeVincenzo’s assisted the Port Jefferson varsity golf team to win the League VI game against Mt. Sinai with a final score of 8 to1.
