 Gary Sowinski, director of golf at Morgan Run Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, notched two “1s” on his scorecard during a recent 36-hole PGA club professional event at Sycuan Resort. What are the odds of that? It’s hard to say. Although, the math department at Boston University calculates the odds of someone getting two aces in a round at 67 million-to-1. Playing the resort’s Pine Glen course, an 18-hole par-3 layout, Sowinski hit a wedge on the par-3, 119-yard third hole. “It was a great feeling,” Sowinski said. “I thought I hit a good shot, but in the back of your mind, you know how hard it is to make a hole in one. I figured it was right behind the hole or in a little ridge, but the closer I got the better it looked.” Players from the group in front of him congratulated him on the shot. Little did they know he wasn’t done. In the afternoon round, Sowinski used his 52-degree wedge to knock it in the hole again on the par-3, 110-yard 17th hole. “It was amazing. I had only had two in my entire career, so I doubled my total in one day,” he said of his improbable aces. “It had been 25 years since my last one. Someone said I should go out and buy a lottery ticket.” |
