I thought it was a pretty good reaction. Nice to see people having fun at a golf event.

Years ago, I was in Florida and they had one of these golf ranges where it is advertised that if you get a hole in one you could win several hundred thousand dollars. And smaller amounts for being closest to the pin at the end of the day. The "range" was just a number of tee boxes aiming at a green over some water. A goodly distance away as if I remember correctly I used a 5 wood.

However the small print said that for all those people who hit a hole in one on any day, they had to return on the same day in the evening AND REPEAT THE FEAT of getting a hole in one to win the megabucks.
And for those trying to win the prize for closest to the pin, the pro would regularly go out and stick a few balls close so they didn't have to pay out.
So well done to the bloke if he has won $1M.

Looks like the 1999 US Ryder Cup team at the 17th green at Brookline.
