Rick Misenick and Pat Johnson

Misencik, a Breezy Point resident, hit the golf lottery when he carded not one but two holes-in-one during the same round at The Preserve at Grand View Lodge in Pequot Lakes.

The odds of such an occurrence are 67 million to 1, according to Golf Digest.

The retired mail carrier aced the 130-yard second hole using an 8-iron.

"The hole was playing about 140 that day because it was a blue pin," said Misencik. "I had just come off a double bogey on the first hole so I went 7 and 1.

"The ball landed about a foot away and rolled in."

Eleven holes later, Misencik used a 9-iron to ace the 148-yard 13th hole. The elevated tee box gave the group of Misencik, Pete Redick, an assistant professional at Deacon's Lodge, and Pat Johnson, an apprenticing assistant professional at The Preserve, a great vantage point.

"That hole was playing about 125 yards so I used the 9-iron," said Misencik. "I thought I hit a bad shot because I hit it left, but it kicked off the side of the hill and landed on the green and rolled in.

"Pat actually called the second one in the air. He said it was going in."

Misencik said it was a bad round gone great. He three-putted five greens and two-putted the rest with the exception of zero-putting two holes. He finished with an 88, which he said is bad for him.

"The one on No. 2 we were doing a lot of fist pumping and high fives," said Misencik. "After the one on 13 there was a lot of yelling and screaming and jumping around."

In 1999, Golf Digest Magazine reported that one insurance company puts a PGA tour pro's chances of a hole-in-one at 1 in 3,756 and an amateur's at 1 in 12,750.

"I was getting a dead cart from the course and they were just teeing off on the third hole and he told me he had just hit a hole-in-one," said PGA professional Nick Haag. "They made the turn and kept going and when they came back in I was talking on the phone. Rick held up two fingers. I didn't know what he was talking about. I got off the phone and he told me he aced the 13th."

Misencik knows The Preserve. He's a player's assistant, or starter, at the championship course. This is his second season at the course.

"I'm playing right now with Pat and we're the only two on the course," said Misencik. "When I got into the clubhouse Nick was pretty excited and I did get a lot of congratulations. Pat actually wanted to call CNN."

They were Misencik's second and third aces. His first came in 1993 at Nordic Trails in Alexandria.

"I've been playing since I was in fifth grade and I've only sniffed a hole-in-one," said Haag. "Here he has three and two in one round."

Misencik said he ran out of luck that day as he went and bought a lottery ticket, but didn't have a single number.
