Congratulations, Taylor Carter!

⛳ 1️⃣ GOLFER MAKES HOLE-IN-ONE AT SPECIAL OLYMPICS CANADA SUMMER GAMES

Taylor Carter's watch thought his hole-in-one was a medical emergency.

The 33-year-old Regina, Sask. golfer's heart was racing so much after acing the 16th hole at Medicine Hat Golf and Country Club on Friday that his watch detected an unusually high pulse and attempted to trigger an emergency services call.

Carter had just hit a 9-iron 135 yards from the white tees during the final round of the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games when the excitement began. His brother was the first one to notice, screaming with joy.

⛳ 1️⃣ UN GOLFEUR RÉUSSIT UN TROU D’UN COUP AUX JEUX D’ÉTÉ D’OLYMPIQUES SPÉCIAUX CANADA

La montre de Taylor Carter a cru que son trou d’un coup était une urgence médicale.

Le golfeur de 33 ans de Regina, en Saskatchewan, avait le cœur qui battait si fort après avoir réussi un trou d’un coup au 16e trou du Medicine Hat Golf and Country Club vendredi que sa montre a détecté un pouls anormalement élevé et a tenté de déclencher un appel aux services d’urgence.

Carter venait de frapper un fer 9 à 135 verges des tertres blancs lors de la ronde finale des Jeux d’été d’Olympiques spéciaux Canada lorsque l’excitation a commencé. Son frére a été le premier à s’en rendre compte, criant de joie.
