GOLF/DIGEST: Two amateur women golfers hit consecutive holes-in-one at a course in England, defying odds of a million to one, their club said yesterday.

June Wiener (75) and Sue Baskind (61) both aced the 152-yard par-three 24th of the 27-hole course at the Moor Allerton Golf Club in Leeds during a four ball last weekend.

"We were told the odds were a million to one - I wish I'd had a pound on it," said Wiener, whose artificial hips appear not to have hampered her swing.

"We were so glad that there were two others with us as otherwise people wouldn't have believed us," she said.

Club manager Richard Crann said William Hill had quoted odds of 1,000,000 to 1 on consecutive aces.

"To get two holes in one in the same game is unbelievable, especially since it is a long par-three surrounded by bunkers," he added.

The pair celebrated by buying members whiskey in the clubhouse.

The club said it would erect a plaque to mark their achievement.
