Two Golfers Have Holes in One hours apart on the same hole. Read the full description.

Titleistprov1x_small Robert Lusetich (Lou SAID itch) and Andy Chong both have holes-in-one on the same hole on the same day. Pretty great, right? What's even more amazing is that they came on a Par 4 in a Skins Game. (A Skins Game is a competition wherein money is awarded to the golfer with the lowest score on each hole.) When Robert makes his hole-in-one he thinks he's a shoe-in for the cash (nearly $2000!). When Andy makes his a few groups later he thinks he's a shoe-in too. 30 minutes later they find out about one another's unlikely feat. The odds of it happening? Too big to count.

Timing and Cues

Suggested Host Intro:

Tiger Woods is the odds-on favorite at this year's Masters (heck, you can insert any golf tournament here). Few people can claim to beat Woods--he's on track to be the most dominant golfer ever. But for two men in Pasadena, California they'll always be able to say they hit a golf shot that Woods hasn't. Robert Lusetich (Lou SAID itch) and Andy Chong were playing in a Skins Game a few years back when they pulled off the impossible. A Skins Game is a golf match in which a golfer wins when he has the lowest score on a hole. Independent producer Charlie Schroeder brings us Chong and Lusetich's unlikely tale.
