'Hard to believe': Man hits 2 holes-in-one at St. Charles golf course

And let it be known, Brett Combs, like all "hole-in-oners," paid for quite a celebration.

ST CHARLES, Mo. — Brett Combs is a good golfer, he has a 7-handicap. But what he did five days ago, not even Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods has done.

Bogey Hills County Club in St. Charles, Missouri, had recorded 160 holes-in-one, but they had never a day like last Sunday. 

"Went into shock phase," golfer Ben Toebben said.

"It's like being in a twilight zone," Combs said.

And now you're about to enter another dimension of golf.

At 9:48 a.m. on Sunday, Combs, 65, used a 5-hybrid club on the second hole from 175 yards away. 

"Everybody was looking at it (saying), 'Oh that's in the hole. That's it. It hit, it hit,'" Combs said. "And I thought it stopped by the hole. But another guy with the rangefinder said, 'No, it fell in.'"

At 11:15 a.m., Combs moved to the eighth hole. A 145-yard shot, a 9-iron and no one was certain at first where the ball ended up. And they looked and looked. 

"The ball mark here, another ball there. I thought it couldn't be, there's no way," he said. "I looked, it was in there. I backed off because I didn't want to be accused of cheating. My buddies came and saw it. I picked it out. Number two." 

"When we first heard about it we had a member come in and said, 'Mr. Combs, you know, has had two holes-in-one today,' and I'm like, 'Yeah,'" Ryan Roy said.

After all, the odds of making two holes-in-one for nine holes is 156,250,000 to one. 

"It's hard to believe and then word spread, word spread," Combs said. 

And let it be known, Combs, like all "hole-in-oners," paid for quite a celebration. 

"$1,300 worth," Combs said.

"(He) bought us food, which is unheard of. So I had a nice fillet and about 20 beers," Toebben said.
