When considering the odds of the Republicans
taking back the House and the Senate in November, consider this long shot accomplishment reported by
The Herald Sun (Australia). (Picture: Raoul Kochanowski):
Even before he walked off the Tasmania Golf Club course at 4.45pm (AEST) yesterday, the local golfing community was abuzz with Mr Kube's amazing double, The Mercury reports.
"We looked it up on the internet and it said it was a one in 67,000,000 occurrence, so it's pretty rare," the 23-year-old said at the 19th hole.
Richard Skeggs, of the Tasmanian Golf Council agreed.
"I've heard of people having two in one round, but never in Tasmania," he said.
"It's very, very rare."
But Mr Kube is no ordinary golfer.
He plays off a two handicap, and is a member of the Tasmanian senior team that will contest the Interstate Series against all other states in Queensland in September.
His hole-in-one double happened in the TGC's regular Wednesday competition, which he only entered because he got off work earlier than expected.
His first hole-in-one was on the par three eighth hole using a six iron.
"I saw it go in the hole and I thought, it's good to have my first one (hole-in-one)," he said.
The second came on the par three 11th using an eight iron and the same brand new Srixon ball he dug out of his bag on the seventh.
"I thought it had a good chance on the 11th because it was headed straight at the pin," he said.
"It landed behind the hole and rolled back in."
Mr Kube played it cool while his golfing buddies went wild.
"I thought 'Oh well, that's two'. It has to happen to someone," he said.
