Hole-in-one stories are always fun. This is another good one.
The Troon North Women’s Golf Association played its final event of the season Thursday in Scottsdale, Arizona.
One of the foursomes included Patti Thompson and Patty Southwick. When the group got to No. 7 of Troon North’s Monument course, Thompson pulled out her new 6-hybrid and sent her ball flying on the 115-yard hole. Seconds later, the ball was in the cup for an ace.
Six holes later, Southwick – sporting her Masters visor – hit her 4-hybrid from 128 yards and also found the hole.
Two aces, same round, similar first names. Quite a day for the duo.
The National Hole-In-One Registry reports that only 16 percent of aces reported are made by women.
