Chris Dunlop notches second hole-in-one this golfing season
LITTLE CURRENT—The odds are about 15,500 to one that an amateur golfer will get one hole in one in their lifetime, and even more staggering that one person will notch two aces. For someone trying to notch two aces in the same season the odds increase even more.
But Chris Dunlop, of Bay Estates, has done all three. He notched his second hole-in-one of his life, and second of this golf season, at the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course (RRGC) in Manitowaning on Tuesday, September 17. “You never figure your luck is going to go that way,” stated Mr. Dunlop. “Jeepers, it is hard to believe.”
Mr. Dunlop notched his first ace on June 27, on the second hole at RRGC using a hybrid club that he rarely takes out of his golf bag.
On his second ace (using his five wood club) he hit his tee shot over the water on the 16th hole, “and a couple of the other guys in my foursome were yelling the ball was running up the green toward the hole, while I was saying, I can’t see the ball,” said Mr. Dunlop.
“It is unreal to get two aces in one season,” said Mr. Dunlop, who is 75.
And, if that wasn’t enough, “yesterday (Tuesday of last week) I damn near got another hole in one after my tee shot landed two feet from the hole,” said Mr. Dunlop.
