This is Ridiculous!
A 66 year old long-haul trucker scores two holes-in-one in the same round! Bob Hickey, from Gaylord Michigan (hickey, gaylord, man, it’s almost too hard to resist..), was playing Marsh Ridge when it happened.
His first-ever ace was on the 10th hole a 167-yard par 3, using a 7-iron.
This is an amazing hole
and his second-ever was with an 8-iron on the 147-yard 17th.
For a man who’s been playing golf for 50 years and never had a hole in one, this as he described it is “just pure luck.”
According to a 2000 Golf Digest article, the odds of a player making two holes-in-one during the same round are 67 million to one.
sigh… Just think, if he had purchased a lottery ticket instead of playing a round of golf, he’d be rich!
but then, that begs the question, which would you rather have? two holes-in-one in the same round or winning the lottery……?
