Man says he hit left- and right-handed holes-in-one

[July 23, 2009]  BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio man who says he's not much of a golfer pulled off a feat that not even some of the best players can match. Ed Platzer of Bowling Green knocked in a left-handed hole-in-one last month, 15 years after he hit a right-handed hole-in-one.

Platzer said he's a natural lefty but learned to play right-handed when he couldn't find any left-handed clubs.

He started hitting from the other side four years ago when he bought some left-handed clubs.

The United States Golf Register tracks holes-in-one. It said that in its database covering the last 13 years, it couldn't find anyone who has matched the Bowling Green man's achievement.
