A Maryland man sank two hole-in-ones in the same round at Royal New Kent Golf Club.

Jim Smith accomplished the feat on Sept. 29, a rarity to do by golf standards. On the third hole, he used an eight-iron to find the bottom of the cup from 145 yards out. On the 12th hole, a pitching wedge was used as he once again scored a hole-in-one from 120 yards.
