The odds of any amateur making a hole in one is 12,500 to one and the odds of making 2 aces in one week are even higher.
It was Wednesday in mid-October of 2021 and the foursome were playing from the blue tees.
With the wind to his back Ray decided to grip down a bit and swing easy.
“I watch the ball and it started right, which is my normal shot is a is a draw, and it drew towards the pin. I said, do that just go in? No one said a word.”
Ray Brunell got himself an ace.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Ray ended up with 2 aces in one week.
"So, four days later, I come back now with a different group of guys and guys. All we're playing either whites or why green tee. So, I decided not to play Blue White, which is my normal tee, and I played white."
Four days after getting an ace on #16 Ray Burnell gets ace #2 on the same hole.
” And sure enough, there’s the ball and it just flies beautifully and draws in and drops right in.”
The odds of that same amateur making holes in one back-to-back rounds is about one in 5.7 million.
