No ordinary golf feat: Foster civilian aces two holes in same tournament round
Published: March 10, 2009
Talk about no ordinary "Golf Guy" tall tale. Chris Howard, a Camp Foster civilian, while playing in a 2-man scramble tournament at Okinawa's Awase Meadows golf course, hit not just one, but two holes in onein the same round!
And talk about going against long odds. It's bad enough that the weather was horrible -- mid-50s, rainy and windy -- but a study commissioned by Golf Digest in 2000 reveals the odds of acing two holes in the same round are ... 1 in 67 million.
And that's two par-3 holes they were studying. Howard aced the par-4 12th hole. Extensive Internet research shows the odds of acing a par-3 and a par-4 in the same round ... are undefined.
Golfers of all kinds, sound off! Is this feat one for the ages? And what great feats have you accomplished on the links? Shout it out!
