Anton Lawrence walked onto the tee at Cobbossee Colony Golf Course expecting a pleasant Saturday of charity golf with family and friends — not a day that would rewrite his personal record book. After four decades of playing the game without ever recording a hole‑in‑one, Lawrence somehow managed not one but two aces in the same round, capped by an unexpected $500 win from a scratch‑off ticket.
The sequence read like a sports movie: a perfect drive on one hole, another miracle shot later in the round, a late‑day lottery payoff and a team tournament win. Friends joked about buying lottery tickets; Lawrence did just that and left with more than bragging rights.

He quit, ran out of money, and begged to come back — here’s how his boss reacted
Lawrence was on the course for a charity event, playing alongside his youngest son, his brother who had traveled in from Louisiana, and his longtime friend Mark. The tournament’s format shuffled the usual order of play, setting Lawrence up for an unusual routing that helped create the improbable sequence of events.
Two aces in a single round — the shots themselves
On what the group treated as the eighth tee, Lawrence connected on a shot that climbed into the September sky and came down on a line so true it rolled toward the cup and disappeared. That was his first ace ever after roughly 40 years of golfing.
A second miracle on the front nine
Later in the round, playing the second hole because of the tournament’s routing, Lawrence repeated the feat. Another confident swing, another ball that tracked perfectly and — after a kiss off the pin — dropped. Two hole‑in‑ones in one round turned a longtime wish into reality.
Luck off the course: a scratch-off ticket pays $500
Encouraged by teammates saying he should “play the lottery,” Lawrence bought a couple of scratch‑offs that night. While the Powerball didn’t come through, one of those instant tickets did: a $500 payout that extended an already remarkable day.
Teammates, family reaction and the tournament result
- His playing partners celebrated the back‑to‑back surprises and urged him to keep the momentum going.
- Family members — including his son and visiting brother — were witnesses to a rare double ace and shared in the excitement.
- Beyond the personal feats, Lawrence’s team went on to win the charity tournament, adding a team victory to an individual legend day.
Why this story matters to golfers and casual fans
Hole‑in‑ones are cherished milestones for players at every level because they require a mix of skill, course knowledge and a fair dose of luck. To record two in the same round is exceptionally uncommon and instantly memorable for everyone involved. For Lawrence, the day wasn’t just about the shots — it was about family, friends and a shared celebration on a course near Augusta.
Memorable moments and what people will remember
What stands out is the string of small miracles that stacked into an unforgettable afternoon: a first‑ever ace after decades of play, a second ace in the same event, a $500 scratch‑off win, and a team championship. Those combined elements are what friends will tell the story about for years — and what will make this particular round so hard to top.
