New Jersey golfer aces the same hole twice in one day

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:34:00 GMT

Masters Sunday can provide quite a quandary for avid golfers, especially when the tournament is played during a holiday. You have to decide if you can fit a bit of golf in at some point in the day before tuning into the final round, or do you keep the peace at home and stick with family activities, thereby "earning" you the right to settle in to see who gets to wear the green jacket?

Joel Ramin, a member at Bayonne Golf Club in New Jersey, may have set the pattern for himself and the rest of us based on what he did last Sunday, and it's all good. His method: get your golf in, reap the rewards, and finish in time to watch the Masters afterward. By choosing to play golf before the back-nine drama at Augusta, Ramin played 36 holes with just a caddie and came away with a pair of aces on the same hole.

Playing from the blue tees first on the course located on New York Harbor, Ramin used a gap wedge from 118 yards to ace the fifth hole, which is the shortest at Bayonne. Coming through the second time playing the white tees, he aced the fifth from 106 yards using a 54-degree wedge.
