Ruth Day - Woman Shoots Two Holes-in-one In The Same Round

On : 2009 Sep 20

Two holes in one

The chances of shooting two holes in one in the same round are a staggering 67 million to one.

But Ruth Day, a 64-year-old woman from northern England achieved a rare feat in golf last week by scoring two holes-in-one during a single round.

"A hole in one in itself is usually pretty amazing," Day said. "But I couldn't believe it when I did the same thing 10 holes further on."

Day shot her first ace on the 149-yard third hole on Sept. 9. She added the second on the 161-yard 13th.

"The first time it happened, my friend was the one saying 'It's going in. It's going in,' but I was relatively ambivalent," Day said. "Then the lads in front put their thumbs up to say it had gone in. I was pleased because it was my first hole in one."

"It was the second one that was really amazing because it was a more difficult hole. We saw it turn and then we went searching for it round the back to see where it was. We couldn't find it, and after a while we found it - in the hole."

Day, a retired British Gas showroom manager with a handicap of 35, has been playing golf for about 10 years.
