Miller a HIO Winner, Twice!

Meet Aurora Rose (11/19/2019)
& Marshall Ethan (01/24/2020) 

     Lightning does strike twice in the same place or so it seems for Maury Miller. Miller hit the jackpot twice in the last three months, first making a Hole-In-One (HIO) on the day his granddaughter was born and later in January holing his second ace the day after his grandson was born. Miller ended up with about $700, two aces, and two grandkids (see photo). You can't do better than that.
     On Tuesday, November 19th playing with his regular group of Keith Scully, Carl Givens, and Eddie Nunez, Miller hit a choked down 7-iron to the 147 yard, #8 hole at Morris Williams. On a perfect line to the hole, it landed a few yards short of the pin and disappeared into the hole.  Miller has been playing golf for over 60 years and had not had a hole in one. A day later his daughter gave birth to Aurora Rose who was a month premature.

     Last week, Monday, January 24,  the events repeated themselves but in reverse order. This time his oldest daughter gave birth to a son on Monday. The next day,.Miller and his group were scheduled to play Jimmy Clay.  On the #5 tee Miller faced a cold and windy 108 yards to a back middle pin. After his playing companion, Keith Scully, tugged a 9 iron a bit left of the pin Miller chose the same club. He hit it right at the hole and watched the ball take one hop and go in the hole.  Miller was overjoyed, "Having two grandkids along with the hole-in-ones and the ASGA  HIO pots made the wait well worth it. The HIO is a great addition to our golf events and allows everyone a shot at the pot!"
