Four old guys get hole-in-ones on same day

A hole-in-one is a pretty rare event. But four hole-in-ones at the same club in the same day? Well, that’s pretty note worthy. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the odds of that happening are somewhere in the range of once every 260,000 days, or, for you math nerds out there, one time every 712 years.

Within a span of about five hours last Tuesday, Don Starkey, Ron Kosits, Maynard Thompson and Wilson recorded holes-in-one at Plantation. Starkey’s and Kosits’ came on the par-72 Otter Creek course, and the others were on the par-71 Cranes Roost layout.

But the Lake County contingent aren’t pros, and all four are at least 70 years old.

For Merlyn Wilson and the 74-year-old Starkey, whose ace came on the 132-yard 12th hole, the holes-in-one were their firsts. Kosits,70, got his second, and Thompson, 74, is a veteran at sinking tee shots, getting his ninth.

I’ve been playing golf for the better part of a decade and have broken 90 once. God, I hate old people.
