UW-Whitewater men's basketball coach Pat Miller is also an accomplished golfer. Miller confounded the odds over the weekend by knocking in a rare "double-eagle" 2 on the 444 yard, par 5, 18th hole.
The odds of recoring a double eagle (3 under the par rating of a hole) is an astronomical 6 million to 1. Compare that to hole-in-one odds listed at 12,700 to 1.
When the foresome reached the elevated 18th green, one of Miller's golf advesaries, Shane Sparks, sales manager at KOOL 106.5-940 WFAW-Lite 107.3, was first to notice Miller's ball wedged between the pin and hole.
According to the National Hole In One Association, the odds of an average golfer making a hole-in-one are 12,700 to 1; for a tour pro, 3,700 to 1. The odds of making an albatross have been stated at about 6 million to 1.
"Odds - what odds," Miller tells Voice's Eye on Football Blog. "I hit a great shot and it went in the hole, what can I say."
