Sir, how many holes in one have you made? Answer: 50. Response: Are you kidding me??
The million dollar man has absolutely nothing on this guy! An Arizona golfer by the name of Dave Thomas has made 50 holes in one in his lifetime. A lot of people have played golf for so many years and never made a single one.
Apparently his first hole in one came in 1966 when Dave Thomas lined up an 8-iron at Orange Tree Golf Club, then known as the Century Country Club ,and took dead aim at the 140-yard sixth hole. According to Thomas, "I never saw it go in. I saw it going toward the pin, and we looked around for it and then we found it in the hole."
Thomas returned to that same hole three years later and did it again. Talk about being a smooth operator! Mr. Thomas immediately caught hole in one fever and has been making hole in ones for the last 30 years. Azcental.com’s report on him says that, “last month, he recorded his 50th career hole in one, acing the 162-yard second hole at Mountain Shadows Golf Course with a 7-iron.”
Another interesting thing is that, when his friends at the Tee Pee Mexican Restaurant, where Thomas is a regular, introduce him as ‘The guy with all the holes in one,’ he inevitably is asked how many he's made.
The writer of the article on azcentral’s website makes a good point when he states that, “It really isn't so far-fetched. Even at age 75, Thomas plays to a 5 handicap. He typically plays at least four days a week at Mountain Shadows, which has 16 par-3 holes. He's been a member since 1979 and has recorded 39 of his aces there. All of his aces have been verified by credible witnesses.”
