Hole-in-one, times two, at Gypsum Creek Golf
Last week the Gypsum Creek Golf Course made the 9News Facebook page when it shared the unusual story of two golfers scoring back-to-back, hole-in-one shots on April 19.
Getting a hole-in-one can be a once in a lifetime experience for most golfers, if they’re lucky. Two golfers getting a hole-in-one on the same day and the same course is very unusual. It happened to Fred Kessler and Dan Eby at the Gypsum Creek Golf Course on April 19, the 150 yard 17th hole.
The chances of this happening isn’t one in a million, it’s one in 17 million.
“We both walked up together to get our balls and looked in the hole and saw two balls,” Kessler told 9NEWS. “I was like, this never happens.”
Eby decided to test his luck and buy a lottery ticket, although it produced only a dollar prize. But both men are keeping their lucky golf balls and savoring the moment.
