As if one wasn't good enough...
According to ESPN.com (article here), Brad Hobbs' a custodian for a local elementary school in Abington, Massachusetts recorded 2 holes-in-one in the same regulation 18 hole round. Hobbs shot 81 on a the par 68 Brockton Country Club.
Mad props Brad!

I guy at my club in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland scored 2 holes-in-one in March this year. He aced both 1st and 2nd holes with (I think) 5 and 6 irons. Not a bad way to start what was his first roud of the year !
Unfortunately his net 61 wasn't enough to win the weekly medal...he lost due to a better inward half from someone else. Thats despite also having a birdie on one of the inward par 3's.
He even appeared on the BBC news doing a reconstrction of his shots !!
Though four under for the two holes-in-one, this fellow ended his round 13 over. That means he was 17 over par for his other 16 holes. Perhaps more proof that golf talent and hole-in-one counts do not perfectly correlate.
Of course, I make this comment as a single-digit handicapper who is very jealous because I have played 25 years of golf without an ace.
CONGRATS Brad!
By all means, Brad isn't any bragger when it comes to his game! He just loves to play, like his father(William) and brother(Walter).
My father in law, probably a 12 to 14 handicap at age 71, has 3 holes in one, all at his home course, Eugene C.C., all in the last 15 or so years. One each on #2, 200 yards, #5 155 yards, #12 168 yards but not on #7, 140 yards. In fact he once told me he has never really been close to a hole in one on that hole.
