Two aces in same group, same round

Advertiser Staff

A hole-in-one is one of golf's rarest feats. But two holes-in-one in the same group, during the same round?

It happened yesterday at Mid-Pacific Country Club.

Barbara Tanabe of Manoa started it with an ace on the 145-yard sixth hole. Tanabe, a former KHON news anchor, used a 3-wood.

Five holes later, Tanabe watched as David Fazendin of Kailua aced the 175-yard 11th with a 4-iron.

It was Tanabe's first hole-in-one, Fazendin's sixth.

Wes Wailehua, a Mid-Pacific employee since 1987, said he had never heard of two aces in the same group happening at the club before. Neither has Fazendin, who has played golf for 38 years.
