Back-to-Back Aces in Vegas Golf Break Two-Year Drought

After nearly two years without a hole-in-one during a KGA event, two players made aces on back-to-back weekends and each won $1,000 from the KGA Hole in One Pot. The KGA–Kirby Golf Association–is a Nevada Golf member club that plays every Sunday at different Las Vegas golf courses.

Michael Sebetic was first on Sunday at Angel Park’s Mountain Course. The fourth hole was playing 116 yards with the pin on the lower half of the green. Sebetic hit a sand wedge past the flag and spun it back into the hole for the second ace of his career. Sebetic is the Nevada Golf Southern Region tournament director.

The ace ended the KGA’s two-year hole-in-one drought and collected the first $1,000 pot of 2026. The KGA had multiple $1,000 pots already funded and waiting for winners, with another pot always building.

Artie Miller was playing two groups behind Sebetic that day. Miller had played golf for more than 40 years without making a hole-in-one. During the round, there was a discussion about the KGA Hole in One Pot and the fact that there had not been an ace in a KGA event for two years. Miller didn’t expect that he would be the next player to make one.

Exactly one week later, on Sunday, Aug. 9, Miller made his first career hole-in-one on No. 16 at Rhodes Ranch. The hole was playing 171 yards with the pin middle left. Miller hit a 7-iron for the ace and won the second $1,000 KGA Hole in One Pot of 2026.
