Four-year-old Colorado boy makes hole-in-one

He made his dad cry.

Most people have been golfing for years and still can’t pull this off.

Four-year-old Caden Uyemura of Denver just did it on his very first trip to a golf course. My husband is so jealous.

Caden and his dad, Justin, headed out to Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver for a father-son round on the par-3 course.

Justin didn’t even expect Caden to make it through all nine holes — it was a hot day, and, you know, the kid is four. But Caden hung in there, and on the ninth hole, he sank a hole-in-one.

A hole-in-one. On his first round. At four years old.

Justin said he stopped recording just before running onto the tee box to tackle his son in the biggest hug he could give. “He was smiling from ear to ear and laughing the entire time,” Justin said. Meanwhile, the rest of us are out here four-putting from ten feet.

Honestly, this is one of those perfect dad-and-kid moments that just makes your whole day better. Way to go, Caden! Read about Caden and his dad here in USA TODAY.
