What feat Erie County golfers now share beyond family bond
Never mind asking how close Nina Wolfarth came to a hole in one before Aug. 2. The Summit Township resident paused to remember when she last swung a club. 'My husband (Ken) and I were in a Friday night couples league at Riverside Golf Course,' she said, 'but that was 20 years ago. (Aug. 2) was only my second time out this year.' Those details, plus Wolfarth's use of a driver on a 128-yard hole, further confirmed the randomness of golf's most celebrated shot. The Child Development Centers employee, with her husband and sons as witnesses, aced Downing Golf Course's par-3 eighth. Wolfarth, 50, recorded her shot during an afternoon originally meant to help Dom and Ayden Wolfarth practice ahead of Fort LeBoeuf's 2025 season. She was further reminded how odds-defying her feat was upon conclusion of their rounds. 'The guy at the clubhouse told me, 'I've been playing for 80 years and never had a hole in one,'' Nina Wolfarth said. Wolfarth, though, knew one person who could relate. Make that immediately relate. Her brother. More: Even these holes-in-one from Erie County golfers stand out, given the difficult feat Successful siblings Wolfarth's hole in one occurred less than two months after Jason Bish's at Venango Valley Inn & Golf Club. The 1998 Cathedral Prep graduate aced the Crawford County course's par-3, 197-yard 16th during the Mercyhurst Prep Green & White Classic, a charity tournament he entered at a friend's request. Bish's shot brought more than notoriety. He also won a cherry red BMW that New Motors offered to anyone who aced that hole. Bish awaits the completion of voluminous paperwork before he assumes official ownership of the car. That's currently scheduled for Aug. 18, which happens to be his birthday. As for Wolfarth's ace, Bish learned of it through a family text message. 'My wife asked me, 'What's an ace?'' he said. 'I said, 'Honey, you have to use it in context.' She said, 'Nina got an ace.' 'That's when I realized she also got a hole in one, which was pretty exciting.' Bish is in the early days of a new job with his varsity alma mater. He's listed as an assistant director of football operations for Mike Mischler, who's about to start his third tenure as Prep's football coach. More: First Erie Times-News varsity sports poll for 2025-26 to determine preseason male golfer 'Hope they can add to this' Ken Wolfarth submitted the specifics of his wife's shot to the National Hole in One Registry, widely regarded as the world's foremost archive for aces. Its website ( documents more than 114,000 that date back decades before its 2006 founding. The registry also lists such verified scenarios as golfers with two aces in the same round; golfers with left-handed and right-handed aces; and a golfer with four aces within 30 days. Although family-related aces occupy much of that section, nowhere did it list them for a brother and sister. That still occurred in August 2024, according to multiple online media outlets and YouTube. Siblings Morgan and Luke Burhans, students at Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, recorded holes in one less than a week apart at Airport National Golf Course. Morgan's aced its 111-yard 11th and Luke its 140-yard ninth. Bish and Wolfarth welcome other kin to celebrate what they did 41 days apart. 'We have a lot of golfers in our family,' Bish said, 'so we hope they can add (their aces) and keep this thing going.'
