Seeing Double

Getting a hole-in-one is one of the toughest things to do in golf, but in July, two players made the news by making it look twice as easy.

First, eight-year-old  Harrison Vonderau amazed his father with a hole-in-one during a father-and-son tournament in Cleveland. Twenty minutes later, he did it again.
”We almost fell down, we were so excited,” Dave Vonderau told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I never had a hole-in-one, but I was happy to watch his.”

Later in the month, Danny Leake of Lubbock, Texas, experienced déjà vu when he got his first hole-in-one during tournament play. The next day he repeated his performance on the same hole, using the same club.

OTHER HISTORIC HOLES-IN-ONE  

The longest straight shot hole-in-one was hit by Robert Mitera on October 7, 1965 at the Miracle Hills Golf Club in Omaha, Neb.
Norman Manley, of California, holds the record for most holes-in-one with 59. He shot his first in 1964 and aced four holes in 1979.

Jake Paine was just three years old when he shot a hole in one on a 65-yard hole in Lake Forest, Calif.
