Golfers can go their whole careers without making a hole-in-one. Aaron Cockerill of Canada could stand accused of being a little greedy as he made a second one in the space of a week when making an ace on the 16th hole at Made In HimmerLand. But Cockerill also experienced the lows as well as the highs, as he was later disqualified after failing to sign his card.

It has been a roller coaster spell for Aaron Cockerill, as he made his second hole-in-one in a week - only to later be disqualified from Made In HimmerLand.
The Canadian aced the third hole in the European Masters last week, and was rewarded with life insurance.
A week one at Made In Himmerland, Cockerill aced the iconic 16th hole.
At 95 yards it is one of the shortest holes in professional golf, but it is surrounded by stands and creates a stunning atmosphere.
Cockerill whipped the Danish crowd into a frenzy when finding the bottom of the cup with his tee shot.
It appears Cockerill lost focus after the hole-in-one, as he made a quadruple-bogey eight on the following hole.
Still, the celebrations for the ace continued beyond the 18th green as Cockerill confirmed he had been disqualified after forgetting to sign his card.
"Can confirm two aces in seven days is pretty cool, although I didn’t exactly ‘validate’ it on the next," Cockerill wrote on Twitter. "And with some hole-in-one chatter in the recording area I forgot to sign my card and got DQ’d."
