Bill Preston beat odds of 9,222,500 to one by scoring the double while playing golf with his wife Carol at Mangawhai Golf Course near Auckland in New Zealand. According to the Daily Mail, he said: “When the ball went in for the second time there was a lot of shouting and cheering from the four playing on the tee in from of us.”

His wife added: “My reaction to the first was amazement. The second one was a real shock. I couldn’t believe it, nor could the people on the other tee. It was a real thrill.”

It was the first double hole-in-one in the club’s history.

Club manager Dave Barlow said: “All of us at the club were blown away by somebody getting two aces in one round.”

Mr Preston’s two hole-in-one balls will be mounted and his name added to the club’s honours board.
