When Canadian John Weissbach holed a hole-in-one on the 13th at the Kings Links by the Sea course on Canada Day he could hardly believe it. Two holes later, on the next par 3, his tee shot caused the ball to hit the green, roll straight to the flag and sink into the hole. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in the group burst out laughing and said, \u2018Wouldn\u2019t it be fun if you made another hole-in-one,'\u201d stated Weissbach, who owns a plumbing business in Canadian British Columbia.<\/p>\n

The group arrived at the green and there was only one ball. His partner looked into the hole and there was Weissbach\u2019s ball. \u201cI thought this couldn\u2019t be real,\u201d said the struggling golfer, 51. \u201cI was speechless,\u201d he recalled. <\/p>\n

And no wonder. It was the first time anyone had ever made two holes-in-one in the same match on that course, where Weissbach has been a member for 15 years and plays three to four times a week. <\/p>\n

According to the National Hole-in-One Registry, the odds of an average player making a hole-in-one is 12,000 to one. Weissbach made his first hole-in-one last year after playing golf for 35 years. The odds of getting two holes-in-one in the same round are 67 million to one. <\/p>\n

For his unusual accomplishment, Weissbach received $200 for each hole-in-one, but it\u2019s going to cost more than that when the club reopens after renovations in mid-August. It\u2019s tradition for someone who makes a hole-in-one to invite everyone in the clubhouse for a round, and Weissbach will have to pay for two rounds. \u201cSometimes someone makes hole-in-one and doesn\u2019t want anyone to know,\u201d said club pro Neil Bidewell. \u201cThis one is so famous, he can\u2019t hide from anyone \u2013 it\u2019s going to cost him an arm and a leg!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
