Bizarre incident at Golf Club probably a world first

Minneapolis Golf Club member Ricardo Fernandez and Preston Miller

The odds of making a hole in one are 12 500 to 1 but the odds of one ball making two aces with two different golfers on the same day will in all likelihood never be repeated again.

Incredibly, it happened at Minneapolis Golf Club in the United States recently when 13-year-old Preston Miller made a hole-in-one on the 4th hole with a 7-iron while playing with his High School team coaches.

He continued using the hole-in-one ball, a Titleist ProV1 with his golf team's SLP logo on it, but unfortunately lost it on the 7th hole.

After his round, another golfer, Ricardo Fernandez, came into the clubhouse to say that he had made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole.

When Preston recounted that he had too, but had lost his ball, Fernandez admitted that he had found a ball on the 7th hole with that logo on it

Fernandez recounted that when he stepped up to play the 16th, he randomly grabbed Preston’s ball out of his bag unaware of what had happened earlier, and proceeded to make an ace of his own.

Bizarrely, one of the millions of Titleist Prov1"s produced every day had now been used to make 2 hole-in-ones on the same day at the same golf course by two different golfers.

That golf ball will certainly stand out on the hole-in-one-honours board at Minneapolis Golf Club because it will now have two names under it - what are the odds!
