Texas Agent Duplicates First Ever Hole-In-One at Lubbock Golf Course

An insurance agent playing in a weekend tournament in Lubbock, Texas, followed up his first hole-in-one with another one day later.

On the same hole.

Using the same club.

“I’ve never even heard of such a thing,” said Jack North, managing director of the Rawls Course, where Danny Leake accomplished the feat.

Leake, 53, aced the sixth hole on Saturday, July 29 with a 5-iron from 174 yards out. He aced the same hole with the same club from 178 yards out in Sunday’s final round.

Leake, who has a 14 handicap and was seeded in one of the tournament’s lowest flights, quickly became the talk of the clubhouse.

“My 5-iron is becoming my favorite club,” Leake told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, adding he was more than satisfied with his hole-in-one on Saturday and had no thought of repeating the gem.

Leake went on to win the sixth flight with a score of 256.

“I’ve always wanted to make a hole-in-one, but I’m nowhere near as good a golfer as most of the people (at the tournament),” he said. “That’s what make this whole thing crazy. I’ll probably never hit another one as long as I live, but I’m OK with that.”
