The only thing better than a hole-in-one? Two of them. The only thing better than two holes-in-one? Making both in the same round. That might sound impossible, and you would be right enough. The likelihood of such an occurrence is roughly 1 in 20 million, but this weekend, Ryan Winchester became that one.<\/p>\n

On Sunday at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa., Winchester began his unforgettable day by acing the par-3 3rd hole. A short while later, he repeated the feat on the par-3 16th hole.<\/p>\n

“The first one we saw it all drop, obviously, there was some excitement about it, the second one we kind of all lost our minds,” he told Fox 29 News<\/a>. “Being able to watch both of them drop in was really incredible, the second one we were all really in shock \u2026 To even have one hole-in-one let alone two in the same day, it’s something I will never forget.”<\/p>\n

Not that he’ll be able to. Rolling Green plans to award Winchester with a plaque for his accomplishment, as well as the flags from the holes he aced. As a dues-paying member at Rolling Green, Winchester was also eligible for the club’s hole-in-one insurance, with one rarely seen upgrade.<\/p>\n

“If you get a hole-in-one here at Rolling Green, and you’re a member, we give you $300 in the pro shop and $700 at the bar,” said Fred Heller, Rolling Green’s head club pro. “So he got double that, $600 in the golf shop and $1400 in the bar.”<\/p>\n

Plenty of clubs would only pay out for one hole-in-one, so kudos to Rolling Green taking care of their own. Winchester wasn’t done there, however. To truly test his luck, he bought $50 worth of Mega Millions lottery tickets following his round using the numbers involved in his remarkable feat\u2014holes, yardages, etc. Needless to say, if you catch wind of a lotto winner in southeastern Pennsylvania this week, we all know who cashed the lucky ticket.<\/p>\n
