Five holes-in-one in a one week period

A 22-year-old man from El Paso, Ill., made five holes-in-one at an area golf course in a six-day period, witnesses say. Unidentified witnesses said Curt Hocker was able to place his first golf shot directly in the hole at the El Paso Golf Club on five occasions in less than a week’s time, the Peoria (Ill.) Journal Star said Thursday.

Hocker said he is still in shock from his successful six-day golfing span, which began on Oct. 29 and ended Tuesday. “If somebody told me they made five holes-in-one in a week, even on a par-3 course, I’d say ‘No way,’” the former Illinois State University student said. “It’s unbelievable. I’m just stunned.”

Francis Scheid, a retired Boston University math department chairman, said the chance a golfer with a low handicap would make a hole-in-one on a routine par-3 hole is 5,000-to-1. More.
