ReelGOLF™ Captures 2 Hole-in-Ones on the Same Day at Tiger Woods' Payne's Valley 19th Hole

ReelGOLF™, beating 17 Million to 1 odds, recorded two Hole-in-Ones on the same day at the 19^th hole of Tiger Woods' first ever public access course, Payne's Valley Golf Course.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hole-In-One (HIO) Media, Inc., a technology company in the golf industry, captured two hole-in-ones on the same day at the iconic Payne's Valley 19^th hole using their product ReelGOLF™, an AI-enabled video production system.

After a day of heavy rains and scaling the cliffs of "Big Rock", the ReelGOLF™ team installed their AI videography system with the hopes of getting some footage after the storms subsided.

"The enormity of the 19^th Hole at Payne's Valley is enough to overwhelm any videographer, let alone when installing our full AI system" says Kevin Imes, Founder and CEO of HIO Media, "but our team prevailed. When the fog lifted, ReelGOLF™ captured our first, and second, hole-in-ones on the same day, a truly extraordinary feat".

What started as a vision by Mr. Imes while visiting The Old Course at St. Andrews has grown into ReelGOLF™, a product that allows golfers to record and share their experiences using PGA^® inspired videos. On that Thursday, moments after ReelGOLF™ went live, golfers Billye Hollister of Arlington, Virginia and Susan Stephens of Augusta, Georgia made their shots of a lifetime on the "19^th Wonder of the World". 

"Payne's Valley has been open for nearly two years and is played by hundreds of golfers each week," said Matt McQueary, Director of Golf and Sales at Big Cedar Lodge. "Since opening, we've only witnessed 12 aces on Hole #19 – until now. For us to see two hole-in-one's on the same day is incredible, but to see two on the same day, and in a matter of minutes, is downright unbelievable."

The National Hole-in-One Registry places the odds of two same-hole, same-day hole-in-ones at 17 Million to 1. The odds of recording them both, unmeasurable.
