A Multinational Patriot and Two Holes-in-One
Some stories feel almost too good to be true. This is one of them
Two Holes-in-One
Calgary's Barbara Parker purchased two Canadian American Multinational Patriot shirts for herself and a guest, Bonnie Barker, for a Ladies Member Guest golf tournament in Arizona held in March 2017.
With her self-proclaimed "lucky shirt," on the 2nd day of the tournament, Parker struck two holes-in-one on consecutive par 3's.
Sports reporter, David Kelley of Tucson News Now wrote:
“The odds on making a hole-in-one in golf are generally thought to be around 13,000-to-1 with the possibility of doing what Parker did and making two in the same round closer to 165,000,000-to-1. Yes that is 165-million.”
Other news sources report odds of 167 million to 1. You may as well say "a gazillion to 1." Her achievement didn’t just live in the moment. It was memorialized in-poster-sized- at the The Gallery Gold Club in Arizona where it happened. A rate feat, made permanent.
And our shirt became part of her story. Ms. Parker was kind enough to share this news with us, and we’re honored to celebrate her incredible accomplishment!
