Defies Odds of 67-million-to-1 Against
Mobile, Ala. – Alabama Golf News knows a good golf story when we see it, and the story of golfer David Deeds making two holes-in-one in the same round clearly qualifies.
On Aug. 2, Deeds, a resident of Mobile, put balls in the hole from the tee boxes of the par 3 4th and 13th holes at the Azalea City Golf Course in Mobile. They were the 76-year-old’s ninth and tenth aces.
His playing partners, with whom he was competing for greenies, were already on the green and fairly close. “I hit one and I saw that it got inside them and I reached down to get my tee and when I looked up the ball disappeared in the hole,” said Deeds, a retiree who plays four times a week on average.
The story by Alabama Golf News contributor Tommy Hicks first appeared in the Mobile weekly newspaper, Lagniappe, where Hicks is the sports editor.
“Being with your buddies is the main thing,” he said. “I do it because I enjoy being with the fellas. I’ve been playing with a lot of these guys for a long time. It’s just the camaraderie.”
At the bar afterwards, Deeds feared the worst. “I got all the players names on [the scorecard] and we only had 10 out there that day and some of them didn’t even want a drink, so I got off pretty cheap. But I left the bartender a good tip,” Deeds said.
