Until now.

Gagne, whose 10 holes in one since January have become the stuff of golf myth and international media interest, hit an ace on Tuesday while the cameras were rolling. A cameraman from KESQ-TV in Palm Springs captured visual proof of her feat, relieving Gagne of a burden she has carried since news of her ace streak between Jan. 23 and May 2 made believers of some, but skeptics of many more.

"When ABC came out and I got it on tape, I really did feel like a weight had been lifted," Gagne said. "I had proven it."

That videotape got a lot of play Wednesday, appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" and repeated throughout the day on "CNN Headline News."

While Gagne says the taped ace was a "godsend," officials at SilverRock Golf Resort in La Quinta, Calif., are working to nail down witnesses for a recent Gagne claim of two more aces in a single round at that course some time in late April or early May.

"Management is still trying to verify the validity of the holes in one," said Randy Duncan, general manger and director of golf at SilverRock. Duncan said such verification is a standard practice for aces at SilverRock.

Even without official verification of the SilverRock aces, which would raise her total to 12 in 2007, Gagne has 10 witnessed and attested aces this year in regulation rounds of golf. In recent weeks Gagne has tried to keep a relatively low profile, talking to media around the world while shielding her friends and witnesses from a barrage of questions about her claims.

Gagne doesn't count the taped ace among her 10, since it came on her third swing on the par-3 eighth hole at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club. Another hole in one, when she said she was just playing the eighth hole at the Westin Mission Hills Resort near her home, also wasn't part of a legitimate round.

As Gagne's tale grows more incredible, so does international interest. Since an initial story in The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun on April 21 when the ace total was just eight, Gagne has been besieged by so many interview requests she's hired a public relations representative to cull through the phone calls and e-mails.

"(The public relations woman) is just to take control of who I should be talking to, just protecting me, protecting me against the weirdos," Gagne said.

The Wall Street Journal's article Friday estimated 10 aces at odds of 12 septillion to 1. Golf World magazine has a story on Gagne in this week's issue. She was interviewed by the London Times Wednesday morning, and she is also scheduled for interviews with the "CBS Early Show," The Golf Channel and Fox television.

Efforts continue to schedule appearances on "The Late Show with Dave Letterman" and "Ellen."

In the face of all the attention, Gagne says she has become sensitive to criticism accusing her of being a fraud.

"It was all fun at first, but now it gets a little crazy," said Gagne, who said that she never wanted the holes in one to be anything more than a golf story and she never wanted her friends and fellow club members to be subjected to questions.

The videotaped hole in one has made a difference, she said.
