In golf, there's shots that just keep players coming back.
At West Bridgewater Country Club on Wednesday, Brockton's Jared Bartelamia hit his first hole-in-one on the par-3, 150-yard 17th hole.

Bartelamia said he picked up the sport just five years ago.
"I never thought in a million years I'd even see one, let alone hit one myself," Bartelamia said.
Jared Bartelamia goes to grab his ball after recording a hole-in-one on the par 3 17th hole at West Bridgewater Country Club during his league play on Wednesday, May 21.
Bartelamia said his club of choice for the hole was a 9 iron. His shot landed just in front of the hole and rolled left to right before disappearing into the cup. Bartelamia threw his hands and club in the air before sprinting onto the green.
He had three witnesses playing with him, good friends JJ Deligolia, Ryan Hennessey and Mitch Barney. Watching the flight of the ball, the group of four all thought it had a chance to find the hole.

'I said, 'If you hit a hole in one I'm going crazy!'" Hennessey said.
Scoring aces runs in the family. According to Bartelamia, his uncle, Frank Daxberger hit two hole-in-ones exactly a year a part from each other at D.W Field Golf Course in Brockton.
Luckily for Bartelamia, it was cloudy and rainy by the time he got back to the clubhouse, so there weren't too many people he had to buy a round of drinks for after nailing the shot.
"My tab wasn't too crazy," Bartelamia joked.

Tennessee Titans sign fourth-round WR Chimere Dike to rookie contract
The Tennessee Titans finalized a contract with another one of their nine-man 2025 NFL draft class on Friday by coming to terms with fourth-round selection WR Chimere Dike on a four-year deal. An explosive wideout with the ability to challenge defenses with his deep speed, Dike is versatile and is willing to do all of the dirty work for an offense, and add a dimension to the offense that the team lacked in 2024. The Titans had limited production out of the slot in 2024, and Dike appears to be a significant upgrade over Tyler Boyd. Advertisement Dike could also add a spark on special teams. Proving to be a dynamic return man who could give Tennessee the type of weapon they lacked last season. So far in OTAs, he has been turning heads, is developing a strong chemistry with Cam Ward, and has the look of a player who could make a difference. Now that Dike has signed his rookie contract, that leaves second-round pick Femi Oladejo as the only member of their nine-man draft class left unsigned. With the Titans heading into their mandatory minicamp, they would likely want to get that contract done.
