Jamie Mottram's Sports Blog - www.misterirrelevant.com

Perhaps my favorite thing about having a sports blog is getting email from folks sharing under-the-radar yet highly entertaining items. Case in point, Caps media relations director Nate Ewell writes...

"Alex Ovechkin just hit a hole in one during the Caps Care Classic at the Springfield Golf and Country Club in Springfield, Va. Ovechkin took a shot on the par-3, 160-yard fourth hole that landed short of the green and rolled in."

What's great about this is not only that AO turned 21 last month, thus allowing him to pick up the ensuing hole-in-one clubhouse tab, but he also has one of the ugliest swings in recorded history...

Update: Predictably, Japers' Rink does a much better job covering this than I, as does DC Sports Bog, including video of the ace.

  I can't properly demonstrate without italics, but Ted needs to call that guy "AOL, with the italics making the "L" look like a hockey hockey stick. His right hand will be washing his left hand.
