This Week's Course Review-Pinecrest Country Club

I’m sounding like a broken record but, again, a major ‘thumbs up’ for our Course of the Week, Pinecrest Country Club!  It’s a beautiful 9 hole course just 10 minutes from exit 3 off I-95.  Joe Scott is the owner, GM and even straps on the apron occasionally to be Chef Supremo in a great clubhouse.  But it’s the perfect setting and conditions that makes this an outstanding golf experience.  The greens-keeper came from Pawtucket CC and it shows… I have to say my four 3-putts during my round were solely the responsibility of the moron holding the putter…certainly wasn’t the incredibly true rolling greens!  It doesn’t play long but you better be straight, plenty of woods to keep you honest and enough strategically placed bunkers make this a very fair course for all levels.  Check it out, it’s a great course!!!

What Are the Odds of Two Holes-In-One?


Luck doesn't even to begin to describe golfer Ted Kemp's round this past week.. Kemp, a 12-handicapper, from
Iowa knocked in two holes-in-one on par 3s at the Muscatine Municipal Golf Course.  Kemp used a pitching wedge to sink his tee shot on the 3rd hole from 130 yards out. Then, after remarking to his group that it would be something if he repeated his feat, he did just that.  Kemp grabbed an 8-iron and nailed a hole-in-one from 182 yards out on the 8th hole.  Kemp says the feat was more luck than skill, calling it "pretty unreal." He finished the day with a 78.  A study by Golf Digest in 2000 said that the odds of getting two holes-in-one in the same round  by a 12 handicap is 67 million to one.
Back in 2000, Golf Digest hired Francis Scheid, Ph.D, the retired chairman of the math department at Boston University, to calculate the odds using the latest and best information available.
 Scheid’s findings were quite interesting:
 Tour player making an ace – 3,000 to 1
 Low-handicapper making an ace – 5,000 to 1
 Average player making an ace – 12,000 to 1
 Average player acing a 200-yard hole – 150,000 to 1
 Two players in the same foursome acing the same hole – 17-million to 1
 One player making two holes-in-one in the same round – 67-million to 1
 One player making three aces in a single round – 2-trillion to 1
 Acing the same hole more than once in 1,000 rounds – 1 in 200
 Getting an ace in a 1,000-round career – 1 in 5
 Getting an ace in a 5,000-round career – almost a sure thing
