It was also each of their first hole-in-ones.<\/p>\n<p>Pipsair was the first of the pair to score in the 110-yard third hole of the course.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After another player made it onto the green, it was Lang&#8217;s turn. Lang, a former college tennis player at the University of Miami, said he was not feeling his best after celebrating Miami&#8217;s win over Ole Miss the night before, and he was running behind his tee time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why don\u2019t you simply drain this shot so we can move along,&#8221; Pipsair joked with his fellow golfer before Lang hit the second hole-in-one of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the Louisiana Golf Association, the odds of an average golfer making a hole-in-one are commonly cited at about 1 in 12,500. For two players in the same group to achieve the feat, it is estimated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c7032kylng5o\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">National Hole-In-One-Registry<\/a> to be around 1 in 17 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the significance of the day, Pipsair was celebrating his birthday. Lang&#8217;s 16th anniversary with his wife was also Jan. 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATON ROUGE \u2014 Two golfers at the Baton Rouge Country Club scored back-to-back holes-in-one just seconds apart, a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":622615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[47],"tags":[12086,266369,20184,206995,129051,59399,144067,5025,1430,135090,266376,2850,266367,266368,266374,266372,353,2970,266373,101005,101,266371,62,266370,314,67,132,68,266375],"class_list":["post-622614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-12086","tag-225day","tag-albany","tag-batonrouge","tag-bluebonnet","tag-dotd","tag-february","tag-fire","tag-golf","tag-hazmat","tag-holeinone","tag-hungary","tag-i10","tag-istroumahigh","tag-jefflandry","tag-kipholden","tag-louisiana","tag-lsu","tag-mohsep","tag-schoolbus","tag-shooting","tag-smittysupply","tag-sports","tag-tigerstadium","tag-traffic","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-zachary"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116149113517803181","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
