The rarest of golfing’s feats — the hole-in-one — was accomplished twice in four days at Libby’s Cabinet View Golf Club.

On Aug. 20, Don Walker used a 9-iron to accomplish his ace on the 131-yard No. 11 at Cabinet View. 

Bryan Walker witnessed his father’s hole-in-one, which was the 65-year-old Walker’s third ace.

Walker kept the ball and the scorecard, and Club Pro Jeff Dooley gave the elder Walker a hole-in-one chip.

The second hole-in-one this month came during the equipment fundraiser at Cabinet View.

Ricky Stindt of Troy picked up his ace on Aug. 24 on the 186-yard No. 15 using a 4-iron.

This ace, which was Stindt’s first, was witnessed by Chase Gotham, Mason Gotham and Daryl Nash.

The odds of making a hole-in-one by an average golfer is 12,500-to-one.

However, the odds for a tour pro are better, 2,500-to-one.
