A Sidney golfer defied all odds and managed to score not just one hole-in-one, but two back-to-back holes-in-one at a Saanich golf course.

While playing at Ridge Golf Course with his eight-year-old son, longtime golfer Jordan Rintoul scored two aces in a row on Saturday, March 30.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a pretty surreal feeling like, you know, I鈥檝e had two other old ones in my golfing career and both of them came in competitive golf situations,鈥� said Rintoul. 鈥淭here was an elderly couple playing behind us and the woman, she saw both of them and I think she was more excited than I was. It was pretty crazy.鈥�

After paring the first four holes of the nine-hole course, he managed to ace the 70-yard fifth hole, and when he stepped up to the sixth hole, which is 89 yards, he repeated the feat. Both holes are par three.

According to the National Hole-In-One Registry, making consecutive holes-in-one is a one in 67 million occurrence.

鈥淚t was pretty neat to experience it with with my kid right. A funny thing he said was because a woman behind me said 鈥業鈥檓 gonna give you my email address because I don鈥檛 think many people are gonna believe this actually happened. I鈥檒l attest to it and this and that.鈥� And then I said, 鈥楴o, no, it鈥檚 fine. I鈥檝e got my son here with me鈥� and my son piped up and he said, 鈥榥o, I鈥檓 gonna tell everybody that it just didn鈥檛 happen鈥� and that was kind of icing on the cake,鈥� he said

Rintoul, who has been playing since his grandparents bought him a set of clubs when he was four, scored four under par for the nine holes.
