George Harada played golf for more than 60 years before getting his first hole-in-one in October.

Last Thursday, the 87-year-old got his second.

Both came on the third hole at Ironwood on Molokai. Harada was born in Hilo and grew up in Kailua. He moved to Kaunakakai to take care of his mother.

He was only playing weekends while he worked for the state. Since he retired, he has a game Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, along with every other Saturday. Until a few years ago, he walked every hole.

Harada’s first ace "cost me big money for a steak dinner" for his five playing partners. His lone playing partner last week hought the ball went over the green. They couldn’t find it, until they pulled the pin out.

He calls this his lucky year and insists there is no secret. "I’ve been dumping balls in the gully for ages," Harada said.
