For those still desperately seeking the elusive hole-in-one, it is close your eyes time. Suddenly, aces are everywhere and apparently available to anyone but you.

Friday, just at Oahu Country Club, three golfers came up ace:

» In the second round of the OCC Men’s Invitational, senior Carl Ho aced the 177-yard 11th hole.

» Claremont McKenna junior Bou-An Fujieki blasted his driver 257 yards up Nuuanu Valley into 20-mph winds and laid claim to the second hole-in-one in memory at the par-4 10th hole (257 yards).

"We heard the group on the next hole yell," recalled Fujieki. "I thought it must have been pretty good. I kind of had an idea then. I hit it all right, but didn’t think it was that close."

» When the guys were done, OCC member Georgia Voulomanos went out and launched one in on the 108-yard seventh hole.

"In all the time I’ve worked at the course we’ve never even had two in a day," said head pro Andrew Feldmann. "Three is crazy, and one was double eagle."

Feldmann says the course averages 12-15 holes-in-one annually. Either this was a fluke or there won’t be many more the next four months. At the OCC Invitational earlier this week, two golfers came within a foot.

Feldmann has seen only five double eagles off the middle and back tees since coming to OCC 15 years ago. And in 2001, on the way to becoming the youngest women’s match play champion in Hawaii history, 11-year-old Stephanie Kono knocked it in from 220 yards at No. 9. That plays as a par-4 for women (par-3 for men).

According to Golf Digest, the most aces made on the same course on the same day is five. It happened 15 years ago at a Scholarship Fund Marathon on the mainland. The magazine also has a record for most made in the shortest time, with three Australians acing holes in a 3-hour, 10-minute span at Sandhurst, near Melbourne. The Friday feat at OCC took twice that long.

The magazine quotes the odds of getting a hole-in-one at 12,000-to-1 for an "average" golfer. Odds for a double eagle are so rare there really aren’t any, although a USGA official makes it 1-million-to-1. And, when three golfers had aces in Georgia on July 31, HoleInOneInsurance.com calculated the odds at 3-million-to-one.

While OCC’s quantity is astonishing, what Kailynn Iida and Kevin McElwain accomplished at the Hawaii Kai Executive (par-3) Course over the last month might go beyond. The 9-year-old soccer-playing fifth-grader at Kamiloiki Elementary School and the 21-year-old Marine each had a hole-in-one the first time they stepped on a course.

McElwain took a lesson July 31 from Jason Deigert at GolfTEC. He bought his first set of clubs Aug. 9 from Roots and Relics — a "gently used" club store. He aced the 95-yard 15th hole with a wedge nine days later.

Iida had a hole-in-one at the course’s 88-yard 13th hole, busting out her driver.

She has been hitting balls since she was 7 with her six clubs — "my driver, my wood, my long, my mid, my short and my putter, which is six" — and needed her grandparents to explain what a hole-in-one was.

Asked how many more she expected, Iida was realistic: "Maybe …I have no idea," she said. "It’s not that easy to get a hole-in-one."

Her celebration consisted of taking a picture and posting it on Facebook, something ace-free golfers like Casey Nakama and Guy Yamamoto would gladly emulate. Yamamoto won the 1994 U.S. Public Links Championship and has been searching for his ace 37 years now — growing up on Kauai, at the University of Hawaii, while winning two Manoa Cups and playing The Masters.

His golf ball has lipped out going forward and backward, hit the cup and the pin on the fly. Nothing sticks.

"I’m playing the wrong courses," he jokes. "I’ve come to predict that my children will probably make a hole-in-one before I do."
