Report: Virginia Tech Women's Golf Coach Makes 2 Hole-in-1's in 3-Hole Span

What was your best day on the links like? 

Mine occurred when I was seven, and I birdied No. 1 and shot a better front nine than my father for the first (and last) time. Since then, my finest days on the golf course are the ones that don't end in a broken iron and me shaking a fist at the Lord.

So it's difficult for me to fathom the recent miracle round shot by Virginia Tech women's golf coach Carol Robertson.

According to The Washington Post's Dan Steinberg, Robertson managed to drop two hole-in-ones during a round at Celebration Golf Club near Orlando, Florida, on Monday.

Steinberg reports that Robertson was playing with assistant coach Russell Abbott and Virginia Tech redshirt players Amanda Hollandsworth and Allison Woodward when the first ace dropped at No. 3—a par-three hole with the pin blocked from view.

It was a nice surprise for Robertson, who had hit five hole-in-ones prior to the outing. The second ace on No. 5 (another par three), however, literally brought her to the ground.

"I just kind of dropped my club and hit the ground," Robertson said, describing the scene. "Everybody's just high-fiving, getting their cameras out, taking pictures."

Steinberg reports Robertson's playing partners said she was joking about making a second hole-in-one moments before taking her shot.

"I play par threes pretty fast," Robertson said before the shot. "I'll just go ahead and make a one on this one, too."

And then she did.

The ball reportedly dropped left of the hole, rolled 10 feet and trickled into the cup. 

"It was like slow motion, watching that one go in," Robertson said. "We couldn't believe it. I fell over. I was sitting there thinking, 'Is this really happening?'"

Technically, all probability states it shouldn't have happened.

Steinberg investigated the numbers on the chances of two hole-in-ones happening in a single round of golf. According to PGA.com's estimations, the chances of Robertson holing two aces in one round is 67 million to one. US Hole In One—an insurance enterprise covering golf tournaments—was less optimistic, pegging the odds at 156 million to one. This is about the chance you have of hitting the Powerball lottery, per Hole in One.

So congratulations, Robertson. You won the lottery of golf. I can't even win the participation ribbon of golf, which is an eight-over and all of my clubs intact.
