The National Hole-in-One Registry says that the odds of a PGA Tour pro getting a hole-in-one is 3,000-to-1.
It also says the average golfer has a 12,000-to-1 shot at making an ace.
But what about the odds for back-to-back holes-in-one?
The answer to that is 17 million to 1.
But that’s just what Brian Hagewood and JD Clark did at the Memorial Day Weekend Four-Ball at Maumelle Country Club in Arkansas on Saturday.
It all went down on the par-3 eighth hole, which was playing 124 yards.
Hagewood used a pitching wedge to land his ball on the green and watched as it rolled forward into the hole.
Celebration ensued on the tee box, with golfers on the seventh and ninth holes close enough to hear the commotion.
Then it was Clark’s turn. He hit his gap wedge and watched as the same thing happened: the ball landed short of the hole, released and rolled in the cup.
Now it was pure pandemonium on the tee box.
It wasn’t long before all 80 players in the event heard about the feat.
“It has certainly never happened at Maumelle Country Club,” said Maumelle’s PGA Head Professional Cary Maddox.
No word on how big the bar tab was for Hagewood and Clark.
