ADAMS TWP — Ashley Arrington wasn't sure where her golf ball had gone.

Her hybrid 5-wood shot soared straight and true toward the pin on the 162-yard No. 2 hole on the Grove course at Treesdale Golf and Country Club.

Her mother, Lynne, who was golfing with the 19-year-old, admired it along the way.

"It was just a gorgeous shot," Lynne Arrington said.

When it hit the green, it rolled toward the pin and then dropped out of sight.

At first, Ashley had no idea where her ball had gone. Then she realized she had achieved perfection in a game that humbles even the best.

A hole-in-one. An ace.

"She started jumping up and down," Lynne said. "She was so excited."

Ashley played golf for the Seneca Valley girls team during her high school days, but she had never come close to a hole-in-one before.

In fact, on this July 7th afternoon, she was struggling with her game before her perfect shot.

"We kind of didn't know what to think," Ashley said. "I was surprised. Very surprised."

Nothing could prepare the Arringtons, who live in Cranberry Township, for what would happen the next week.

Lightning struck again, this time for Lynne.

On July 14, the elder Arrington grabbed her own piece of perfection when she notched a hole-in-one on the 100-yard No. 5 hole on the Grove course at Treesdale.

Her pitching-wedge shot wasn't as pretty as Ashley's hybrid 5-wood, but the results were the same.

"I was in total disbelief," Lynne said. "I was joking that wouldn't it be funny if I got a hole-in-one a week after Ash on the same course. And then I did it."

Lynne and her husband, Richard, have a ritual every Saturday.

They have dinner, then go golfing. The week before, when Ashley recorded her ace, Richard was in Hong Kong on business and Ashley took his place.

A week later, he was back from Hong Kong to witness his wife's hole-in-one.

She couldn't wait to share the news, phoning her daughter from the golf course on her cell phone.

Ashley Arrington, who was working at the time, said she knew it was something important when she received the call from her mother at work.

"She left a message to call her back as soon as I could," the younger Arrington said, said. "So I called her back and she told me she got a hole-in-one. I was happy for her. I wished I could have seen it because I was glad she was there to see me do it."

Lynne has been golfing for seven years and, like her daughter, had never come close to an ace before.

"I get a birdie every now and then, but nothing like this," she said.

The family aces put the pressure square on Richard Saturday. Unfortunately, the Arrington ace run ended at two.

"The pressure was really on him," Lynne Arrington said, laughing. "He was really disappointed he didn't get one."

But mother and daughter are certainly glad for their achievement.

"It's something we can share," Lynne said.
