Man hits hole-in-one, bowls perfect 300 in same day

<snip>

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Hitting a hole-in-one wasn't enough victory for one day. Paul Hughes went on to bowl a perfect 300 game less than 24 hours later.

The 74-year-old retired heating and plumbing business owner sank the hole-in-one on the 149-yard fifth hole at the Pleasant View golf course in Middleton Monday afternoon. He bowled the perfect game at Bowling Green lanes in Middleton Tuesday.

"It's a super feeling," Hughes said.

Ted Donker, director of golf operations at Pleasant View, confirmed that Hughes hit the hole-in-one Monday. Terry Knight, the bowling alley's manager, verified Hughes bowled the perfect game.

"He's got a hand like Paul Bunyan," Knight said. "He probably cut wood for three hours before he came in and did it."

Hughes is no slouch at either sport. His golf handicap is usually around 11, and he also bowls with a dozen seniors every Tuesday morning at Bowling Green.

He prefers golf because it's an outdoor sport, but he thinks bowling a perfect game is a greater accomplishment.

"You need 12 perfect shots," he said.

Hughes hit a hole-in-one in 2000 and has bowled three other perfect games.

That man will probably win the frelling Powerball

I'd be lucky not to quadruple-bogey on ONE hole, or to get 120 in a bowling game!
