[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…A rare 'rendezvous hole-in-one' worthy of overseas headlines occurred at Jeju Blackstone Golf Course.

On the 7th, at the 7th hole of the East Course (par 3, 140m), a remarkable record was made as playing partners both scored hole-in-ones on the same hole. Kim Tae-jin (72) made a hole-in-one with a 26-degree utility club, and Kim Woo-jong (66) did so with a 7-iron. The golf course celebrated the moment with commemorative photos and hole-in-one certificates. This was Kim Woo-jong's 10th hole-in-one and Kim Tae-jin's 2nd. According to Golf Digest USA, the probability of an amateur golfer making a hole-in-one is 1 in 12,000.

The probability of two playing partners both making a 'rendezvous hole-in-one' on the same hole is an astonishing 1 in 17 million. Last month in the U.S., Aaron Hicks, an outfielder for the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball, made headlines by scoring a hole-in-one on a par 4 hole. At Silverleaf Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, the ball from his 3-wood tee shot on the par 4 hole (303 yards) went straight into the hole. According to PGA Tour.com, the probability of making a hole-in-one on a par 4 hole is 1 in 6 million.
