Well, that’s what happened to Braxton Oglesby and Maurice Oliver.
The grandson-grandfather duo played a round of golf at the Landing at Reynolds Lake Oconee on March 20. When they got to the third hole, Oliver sunk a hole-in-one.
It turns out, Braxton hit a hole-in-one also at the same spot on March 3, 2024.
Meredith Oliver, Maurice’s daughter and Braxton’s mother, shared photos of the momentous occasion with Channel 2 Action News. She said it’s something their family will never forget.
"It’s said that this is a one in 17 million chance of happening," she told WSBTV.com.
