A golfer is accused of using a “dying” grandmother as part of a scheme to stage a fake hole-in-one in amateur play. According to reports, the golfer presented the situation as an excuse connected to the alleged deception, attempting to support or justify the claim.

The New York Post and Breitbart describe the incident similarly, both focusing on the golfer’s alleged use of the grandmother’s condition or situation as the backdrop for the ruse. However, the outlets’ brief descriptions differ in emphasis and wording—Breitbart frames it as the golfer “using his dying grandma” to set up a fake result, while the New York Post adds a more specific detail that the grandmother “got run over” in connection with the story. Both accounts treat the alleged hole-in-one as the central point of the dispute.

No further details are provided in the supplied excerpts about investigators’ findings, charges, or the golfer’s identity. The reports also do not clarify how the alleged fake shot was detected or what consequences, if any, have been imposed.
