(Newser) – A 67-year-old Texas golfer has pulled off a feat against 67-million-to-1 odds, reports the Houston Chronicle. Rick Akin notched two holes-in-one in the same round, both on par-3s. The magic must be in the ball: After his first ace, Akin followed tradition and put the ball back in his bag to save it. But when he lost a subsequent one in water, he pulled it back out again and struck gold on the 18th. "I called that one in the air," he said.

still not as good as Dear Leader "“Fact” 3:  He was the best natural golfer in history – In 1994 news organizations in Pyongyang reported on the opening of the first ever golf course in the communist nation of North Korea. “Dear Leader”, as he enjoyed being called, had never played before but he wanted to give it a try.  Turns out he was by far the best natural golfer ever known to human-kind.  He reportedly shot 38 under par on the regulation 18 hole golf course.  That is 25 shots better than the best round in history.  Oh, did I mention that his score included no fewer than 5 holes in one?  It did.  All seventeen of his bodyguards who witnessed the event swear to the authenticity of this story."
