Husband, wife make consecutive aces on the same hole
Tony Blundy had just made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at Ledge Meadows Golf Course in Grand Ledge, Mich.
Naturally, his wife, Janet, was happy about her husband’s first-ever ace. However, the celebration had to be short-lived, as Janet still had to play.
“You’re gonna be really mad at me when I put mine in,” Janet said to Tony as she walked up to the forward tee box.
She did, but he wasn’t.
That’s right, at the par-3 16th, Tony, 53, first sank his 135-yard shot with a 7-iron. Then, right after his hole-in-one, Janet, 43, did the same thing with a pitching wedge from 110 yards a tee box forward. The two were playing by themselves, but the commotion they raised — and deservedly so — at their feat attracted a couple of players from another hole to verify what they had just done.
So what are the odds of something this outrageous happening? The National Hole-in-One Association once calculated that the odds of two people in a foursome making an ace on same hole was in the range of 26 million-to-1. However, when contacted by the Lansing State Journal, the association said the odds would easily be double for a twosome.
In other words, it’s a good thing the Blundys had some witnesses.
“If nobody would have been around, nobody would ever believe us,” Tony Blundy said. “We’ve been laughing about it every time we think about it. It’s so unbelievable that it could happen.”
