This was taken from the Middlesex News Editorial June 8 1991
It's not that Mattias Herrstrom made two holes-in-one in a
single round of golf that infuriates weekend hackers. Such a
feat is rare, but not unprecedented.
It's not that the Swede had scored a single ace less than a
month before Wednesday's remarkable accomplishment that turns
lesser golfers green. Some players just have a knack for
knocking it in from the tee.
One of Herrstrom's two holes-in-one was a 309 yard par 4, an
unimaginable length for most duffers. But even that is no reason
for anyone to resent his good fortune.
Mattias Herrstrom is 12 years old.
Twelve.
That's not fair.

Great story! I have a running nightmare that I'll get my first
hole-in-one during a practice round by myself, with no witnesses.
I did have a double-eagle once, which is rarer than a hole-in-one,
but I'd trade it for a hole-in-one.

Saw a short item in the sports section shortly after this saying the
lad in question may have fabricated both holes-in-one. Can't remember
when this was. The story said it was not yet proven however.
Some things are too good to be true!
