Golf pals both hit hole-in-one on same hole
TWO golfers hit consecutive holes-in-one on the same green, beating astronomical odds.
Peter John and Jaswant Sidhu landed their back-to-back aces within a minute of each other.
Jaswant, 69, was first to achieve the feat, using a nine-wood on the 145-yard fifth hole at
Wergs Golf Club in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, a par three. The pair then watched in amazement as Peter, 72, did the same.
Neither had achieved a hole-in-one before. Grandad-of-three Peter, a retired builders’ merchant, said: “Jas teed a lovely shot and got a hole-in-one. Then I stepped up and did exactly the same thing. It’s absolutely unheard of.”
Grandad-of-five Jaswant, a retired postmaster, said: “Pete hit his shot and it was like an action replay. It is a miracle. It’s my first hole-in-one and probably my last.”
