Some players go for years and never see a hole in one. Most players go through their entire careers and never hit an ace.

According to most sources, the odds of making a hole in one are around 12,000 to one.

So what are the odds on two women playing alongside one another in a club championship – and one hitting an ace on one day, and the other doing the same 24 hours later?

That’s exactly what happened in the ladies’ championship at Henlle Park.

On the first day, Kathy Evans holed her tee shot on the 15th – and the next day playing partner Di Edwards holed out on the second.

Di, a 16 handicapper, said: “It was an amazing weekend.

“We were playing together in a three-ball on the Saturday and Kathy’s hole in one was quite spectacular.

“We had been chatting and Kathy was talking about her score and how it could be better, but the said it was nothing a hole in one couldn’t sort out. And then she did it!

“We all got really excited when it went in.

“The next day, Kathy and I were paired together again in the club championships.

“The second hole is uphill to an elevated green. It was 104 yards and I hit a pitching wedge and it looked to be on a good line.

“When we got to the green we couldn’t see the ball and I thought it must have run through to the back – but it wasn’t there either.

“Kathy said if we couldn’t find it then it had to be in the hole – and we looked, and there it was!

“It was very exciting and I had to try to calm down – it was only the second hole and there was a lot of the round to go. I had gone close to a hole in one in the past, but this was my first. It was so exciting – I never expected to see one hole in one, and here we had two in two days.

“It was amazing how quickly word got around the course – lots of people wanted to talk about it.”

Di was unlucky not to pick up the championship trophy as well – she finished level with Viv Davis on 179 but missed on the silverware on countback.
