FORMER GREENVILLE BUSINESSMAN GETS TWO HOLES-IN-ONE

Many golfers dream of hitting a hole-in-one but few achieve this feat.  Former businessman and golfer Bill Cline recently did just that, twice.  Bill was on the back nine at the Waynesboro Country Club in Waynesboro, Virginia when he hit a hole-in-one on two separate Par 3 holes, each approximately 130-150 yards.  Bill overcame odds of about 67 million to 1 to achieve this rare accomplishment.
