Anton Lawrence, a seasoned golfer with more than 40 years of experience, achieved a remarkable feat during a charity tournament at Cobbossee Colony Golf Course on Saturday.
Lawrence, who had never hit a hole-in-one before, managed to score two in the same round.
“It was just great. It was a fun feeling,” Lawrence said.
He recounted the extraordinary day, saying, “It was hole 8. I hadn’t used my drive all day, thought it bounced in, and then we went and played hole 2, did the same thing. That one I heard it hit the pin and went there, and there it is. Never had one in my life, and then I get two in the same time.”
Lawrence’s luck didn’t stop on the golf course.
“You know, after everybody told me I needed to buy a lottery ticket, so I bought two scratch tickets, a Powerball ticket, and I won $500 on the scratch ticket,” he said.
Although he didn’t win the Powerball, Lawrence felt like he hit the jackpot in other ways.
“We ended up winning the tournament, got to do it with my youngest son, my brother who was up from Louisiana, and my buddy Mark there, so it was a good time,” Lawrence said.
