Golfer Hits First Hole-In-One, Then Gets A Second The Same Day And Wins $500 From A Scratch-Off

Golfer Hits First Hole-In-One, Then Gets A Second The Same Day And Wins $500 From A Scratch-Off

This particular day will be tough to beat.

Anton Lawrence has been playing golf for 40 years and never once had a hole in one. Then, he stepped onto the teebox for Hole No. 8 at Cobbossee Colony Golf Course near Augusta, Maine.

Lawrence was playing in a charity golf tournament with his youngest son, his brother who was in town from Louisiana, and his good buddy Mark. His swing on No. 8 felt pretty solid. The ball soared into the September sky and was soon bouncing on a perfect line toward the hole. And then, it dropped in.

Lawrence had his first-ever hole in one – but there were still 10 holes to play.

Magic arrived again on Hole No. 2. Lawrence was playing the course out of order thanks to the tournament’s format.

He teed off on No. 2 and once again, his swing and shot seemed perfectly in sync. The golf ball sailed forward on an optimal path to the hole. This time, it hit the pin and fell in.

Lawrence, who had played for four decades without once feeling the thrill of a hole in one, now had experienced it twice in the same round.

“It was just great,” Lawrence told WGME-TV in Portland, Maine in the video below… “It was a fun feeling.”

Clearly, it was Lawrence’s lucky day. Friends told him he had better play the lottery too. Otherwise, he’d be wasting an epic run of good fortune.

As it turns out, they were right. Lawrence didn’t win the Powerball drawing that night, but the two scratch-off tickets he purchased instantly paid $500, topping off his legendary luck.

And when the day finally ended, Lawrence had another win too.

“We ended up winning the tournament,” Lawrence said. “…So it was a good time.”

It was indeed quite a time and quite a day—and it certainly will be a tough one to beat.
