I see that he played in the USGA Four-Ball qualifier with his son, and they shot 79! So he regularly shoots in the mid 60's and has numerous "59's" on his own ball...yet barely breaks 80 when he has a scratch partner helping him??? http://vsga.org/news/three-teams-qualify-for-the-u-s-amateur-four-ball-championship/

I've attended a number of Turfgrass conferences and all of the USGA agronomists I've encountered have been fantastic. Most are former superintendents or came from turfgrass programs at top schools. There is a section on the USGA website dedicated to their research and updates, which are great to read and give a glimpse into the world of turfgrass.

What is more likely...that he actually made 3 holes in one (none of which he or his playing partners saw go in) or that someone up ahead was playing a prank on him by putting the ball in the hole before they left the tee? The latter has happened hundreds of times, the former is about a trillion to 1. So this guy may actually believe he made the holes in one and he has no reason to think he didn't, but I'd put my money that it was a prank.
