The first two holes of Wes Bolyard's round back on May 15th came and went with little fanfare.

But that all changed when he stepped onto the tee box on hole number three at Longbow Golf Club in Mesa.

With his trusty Ping i15 gap wedge in hand, Bolyard's shot landed eight feet from the hole and rolled in for an ace.

"I'm a grown man but it brings tears to your eyes," said Bolyard.  "You can't even talk."

Bolyard brought out the same gap wedge eight holes later on the 11th hole at Longbow.

Once again, the ball found the bottom of the cup.

"I was in shock," admitted Bolyard.

According to About.com , the odds of a golfer hitting two holes-in-one in one round are 67-million-to-one.

"For it to be 67-million-to-one odds for him to do this, it has to be the same for me to witness it," said Bolyard's playing partner, Dick Shivers. "I feel pretty privileged."

Perhaps even more unbelievable, Bolyard already had five holes-in-one during his golfing career.

The two at Longbow on May 15th now brings Bolyard's total number of aces in his lifetime to seven.

"It's phenomenal that I've been lucky enough to have as many as I've had," said Bolyard.
