Who would've thought they'd witness a first from the 1980 World Series Champion? Not even Bowa himself could believe it.
"It was par 3 and I had some good golfers with me," Bowa said. "I had Trea Turner, I had [Bryson] Stott, I had Packo [Figueroa] the first base coach and I was getting lessons all day."
"I hit a 7 iron, I knew it was on. So I said, 'Okay, I got one in the middle.' And then it just so happened everyone was backed up and they were all watching the hole. Then I see [Brandon] Marsh going, 'It's good!'"
The celebratory moments following the hole-in-one were shared across the Phillies' social media pages. It included a baffled Bowa and hysterical commentary from Marsh, who was mic'd up at the time.

"It was my first one and and probably my last," Bowa said about the hole-in-one.
"I don't play a lot but when I get an opportunity, I play. I'm OK, I'm not that good a golfer but it's fun and the outing was fun. John Middleton puts on that thing and we had a blast.
"We got a good, close-knit team and I really believe that this is the year for the Phils. I really believe that."
