Three Days, Three Family Members, Three Holes-In-One

You always hear about this stuff, it just never seems to happen to you ...

A family in Wales - father, mother and son - each recorded aces on their home course over three consecutive days.

The Mackenzies play at Llanfairfechan Golf Club in North Wales. On Day 1, mother Gill aced a 116-yard hole; on Day 2, father Ray aced a 115-yard hole (hope the wife is givin' him hell!); and on Day 3, son Sam aced the same hole as his father.


A spokesman for William Hill, one of the two largest bookmakers in the United Kingdom, said the odds of such a hat-trick were "between 10 and 15 million to one", reports The Sun.

Ray, who got hooked to golf a mere three years ago, said that he and his son had both scored holes-in-one with balls that son Sam bought him as a gift for Father's Day.
