Three days after sinking two hole-in-ones on the same round of golf, Ed Pike was, understandably, still a very happy man.
At odds of around 67 million-1, the 48-year-old forklift driver aced the fifth and 15th holes at Country Meadows on Monday, while playing with his golf buddies of 20 years, Dale Ware, Manfred Stengel and Jeff Dale.
“I still can’t believe,” said Pike, a self-confessed “hacker,” who lives near No. 5 and Williams roads.
“Dale was actually talking during my swing for the first hole-in-one, but that’s Dale for you; we’re just hackers really.”
After the magical round, Pike, who got a hole-in-one at West Richmond pitch ‘n’ putt about 30 years ago, did his duty as a golfer and bought two rounds at the 19th hole (bar).
