Not one. Not two. Not three. How about four holes-in-one in one day?

Golf influencers Troy Mullins and Tania Tare did just that, with each making two aces at Indian Wells Golf Resort.

All the fun was captured on video by Breaking Par, an Arizona-based, syndicated golf TV show carried by Bally Sports affiliates across the country.

The series is called “Ace Race with Tania Tare”, a renowned trick-shot artist. Mullins is a long-drive competitor.

On this particular day on the par-3 16th hole, each golfer took aim from 140 yards out for about four hours. The contest ended once paying customers reached the hole.

Mullins was declared the winner after she hit the most balls inside a four-foot circle around the hole. In addition to bragging rights, she won a custom Phat Ride.

“Whether you’re a golfer or not, everyone knows how special a hole-in-one is, so being there to witness four aces is something I’ll never forget,” said Ryan Johnson, executive producer of Breaking Par.

The Ace Race show debuted on July 1 and will be televised on Bally Sports affiliates until Aug. 31, 2023.

Tare has a combined 588,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok; Mullins has more than 250,000 on the two social-media platforms.

Watch: DeMarcus Lawrence, Ian Kinsler and Cassandra Meyer take on urban golf in Dallas

Imagine getting to hit a golf ball at AT&T Stadium, Choctaw Stadium and off Reunion Tower in Dallas.

Imagine getting to go inside Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and hit golf shots at the star in the middle of the field. Picture yourself climbing Choctaw Stadium, the old home of the Texas Rangers, and hitting wedge shots toward the dugouts and smashing driver beyond the center-field wall.

Even more impressive? Hitting shots from the top of Reunion Tower, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the downtown Dallas skyline.

Our partners from over at Breaking Par documented exactly that, with the help of a few local celebrities.

Dallas defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence, former Rangers’ star second baseman Ian Kinsler and professional golfer Cassandra Meyer travel across the Dallas metroplex, hitting golf shots throughout and off some of the area’s most recognizable landmarks.

WATCH: Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland and others try for $1 million ace … on water

Thomas and other Team Troon golfers teed it up on a floating box in Las Vegas to raise money for charity. Breaking Par documented the event.

What do Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland, Matt Kuchar, Cheyenne Woods, Alex Noren and Matthew Fitzpatrick have in common?

For starters, they are all part of Team Troon, a group of professional golfers representing the Troon brand. And as part of a recent renewal of the Team Troon initiative, these golf pros took on their most novel challenge yet. Make a hole in one. From the water.

That’s right. Our partners at Breaking Par — a half-hour monthly show on Fox Sports Networks throughout the United States — documented the challenge in a recent episode, where J.T. and company traveled to Rio Secco Golf Club in Las Vegas to raise money for local charities impacted by COVID-19. Each competitor was boated out to a 12-by-12, fully turfed floating tee box in the middle of a pond. From there, each had an opening shot from 145 yards. If that ball went in the hole, they would win $1 million (half of which would go to a charity of their choice).

Afterward, the golfers tried to put three more shots from the same tee box as close to the pin as possible. The closest of these would net the winning contestant an additional $10,000 to be put towards charity.

“I’ve never hit a shot off of an island tee box before, so it definitely stands in a league of its own,” said Thomas.
