Harbour Ridge Member Defeats Odds

With Two Holes In One In One Round

What Are Those Odds? 67 Million To 1 To Be Exact
The average American golfer makes a hole in one once every 12,000 rounds. On
Saturday, May 8, Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club member Patsy Harris defeated
those odds by a long shot.
Patsy, a member at Harbour Ridge since 2014, decided to start her day off with a
final 18-hole round of golf for the 2021 season. Little did she know it would end in 67
million to one odds! She teed off the River Ridge No. 10 at 8:16 a.m. and just under
an hour later, using a five hybrid from 105 yards, she made her second-ever hole in
one on hole No. 14. Once Patsy got to the seventh hole at 11:35 a.m., she thought it
best to use her six hybrid from 102 yards. She swings, she … sinks it! Incredibly, she
successfully sunk her second (and third ever) hole in one; same round, same course,
same day!
