The odds of this happening are one in 17 million, and it happened on Tuesday afternoon. Matt Parker of Falmouth got the first hole in one, his buddy, Travis Ferrante, got the second. It was a pretty amazing day for them both.
The hole was 128 yards, Matt used a gap wedge off the tee and Travis used a pitching wedge. Matt is an 18 handicap and Travis is a 10 and it is a tradition in golf that if you get a hole in one, you buy a round of drinks for everyone in the club house; so at Portland Country Club on Tuesday, people got two free drinks, thanks to Matt and Travis.
