YORK, Pa. -- It's a good golf game when someone gets a hole in one.
But what about when two people get aces -- in the same game?
Bill Maslowski and Carl Workinger got their holes-in-one while in a
threesome with Steve Fahs at York County's Grandview Golf Course at
about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
"I've never witnessed anything like this before," Maslowski said. "I
never even heard of it. Two holes-in-one on the same hole -- wow!"
According to a Golf Digest study, the odds of two players in the same
foursome acing the same hole are 17 million to 1.
Maslowski got his ace first, using a 5-iron on the 152-yard fourth
hole. Fahs hit second, but missed the green. Workinger then used a
6-iron to hit his ball into the cup.
The holes-in-one were witnessed by Fahs and Grandview maintenance
worker Carl Fry Jr.
