This 5-handicap made a hole-in-one. Then came 2 more odds-defying swings

Tyler Darling, a 45-year-old amateur golfer with a 5.8 handicap index from Vermont, made one hole-in-one and two albatrosses over four rounds at Orleans Country Club. His remarkable sequence occurred between late August and early September during regular league appearances at his home course.

Darling started the run with an ace on August 25 on the 157-yard par-3 third hole. He followed with albatrosses on par-5 holes on September 1 and September 8, recording odds estimated by a friend at roughly 14.5 quadrillion to 1.
