Margery Hadar can't believe her good fortune after recording two holes-in-one in the same round Sunday.
I play every day online and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten 1. A couple of eagles on par 5s and a couple of nice long chip ins.
Exciting! I got my first ace 3 years ago - 127 yard par 3 using a 7 iron and still remember the thrill. Can’t imagine getting another one let alone 2 in one round!
Huh. I wonder how rare two in one go is. Are we talking like baseball perfect game rare?
160 yards
:: South Florida’s oldest continuous operated
par-3 course ::
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good on her but I don’t think the USGA will certify them.
Nothing says great golf like a 112 yard shot with a driver!!!
But it’s a par 3 - not certifiable...but a great story anyway.
(BTW, I think Freddie Couples also has 2 aces to his name.....there is more luck than skill in holes in one. I know, I have 2 certified, and I was maybe a 15 handicap when I got one and maybe a 20 when I got the other.
From the article:
Hadar, who last measured her handicap last year at “above-30,” said that she is a women’s league member at Sag Harbor (N.Y.) Golf Club.
“There wasn’t a bar in the clubhouse, otherwise I’m sure that I would have been obligated to pick up the tab,” joked Hadar. “My dad was a great golfer and had one hole-in-one. He would have been so happy to see me do this.”
She also looks very good for 73!
Some people have all the luck...
I caddied for a guy that hit a hole in one on a uphill blind par 3. We got to the top and looked for his ball for about 5 minutes before another caddy was pulling the pin and saw the ball in the cup! It never occurred to anyone that the ball could be in the cup.
