Iowa golfer cards back to back aces

I read this headline on golf.com and had to do a double take. First off, the chances of getting a hole in one is basically astronomical; it is truly the crown jewel of a golfer's "life". To have two aces in the same round has odds set at 67 million to 1. Yeah....I know...that's even longer odds than the lottery--powerball, that is. So when I went on to read that Ted Kemp from Iowa had two aces in a round and they were BACK TO BACK, I could only blink in disbelief.

But it's true--and truly amazing. Kemp, a 12 handicapper, made the back to back aces on consecutive par 3s at the Muscatine Municipal Golf course. He finished the round at 78--dang Ted, two aces and you are still six over? Of course, I can't say much--just to even get within five feet of the hole on a par three would have me dancing on the tee. So, no offense Ted!

Congrats on this amazing achievement!
