“He’s on his final hole. He’s about 455 yards away, he’s gonna hit about a 2 iron I think.” — i can’t link to a golf story and not quote either carl spackler or caddyshack in general … it will never happen

for the two people who regularly peruse this blog (that i’m aware of), i posted a story a little while ago about two golfers who got hole-in-ones on the same hole, in the same round of golf. i thought that was pretty crazy. but apparently, it happened again in york, pa.

Bill Maslowski and Carl Workinger got their holes-in-one while in a threesome with Steve Fahs at York County’s Grandview Golf Course at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

“I’ve never witnessed anything like this before,” Maslowski said. “I never even heard of it. Two holes-in-one on the same hole — wow!”

dude obviously doesn’t read this blog or he definitely would have heard of it before. so sad and no, i won’t make a threesome joke. i’ll just acknowledge it’s presence and move on. for the record, maslowski hit a five-iron on the 152-yard fourth hole. fahs, their lowly, non-ace getting lackey, missed the green and workinger slapped a six-iron into the cup. what’s the deal with using a five and six iron on a 152-yard hole? i go par-three pitch-and-putting about once a year and i can hit a nine-iron a good 130-yards, and straight too! personally, i find real golf a little too challenging and strictly try to stick to pitch-and-putting and of course, mini-golf. therefore, i am obviously qualified to bust balls here and i will take liberty in doing so, for fun, and my own personal inward, at-desk, laughs. really though, i have on occasion gone real golfing and yes, i too suck at it. my pitch-and-putt skills make me lethal from inside ohhh, about 130 yards, but once the irons get flatter, it’s pretty much a crapshoot. real golf, however, tends to be pretty time consuming, somewhat expensive and then there’s the fact that i only have one or two immediate friends who enjoy the real deal. i greatly enjoy the sport of golf, i was just making those jokes for the sake of joking and so in the event that i go back and read previous posts, i can laugh at myself and my pseudo-witty banterings. lighten up.

p.s. if you read the actual story, i like the fact that they cited the golf digest 17 million to 1 odds study that was mentioned in my previous hole-in-one related post. seriously, it happened twice in like a three-week span. time for some golf digest brainiacs to re-calculate and re-formulate.
