He had a pair of aces, in consecutive rounds in the span of four days at Coos Coos (kō`ŏs), in the New Testament, island in the Aegean Sea, the present-day Kós. Country Club. Last Wednesday, playing the 138-yard No. 6 hole, Jones hit a 9 iron within five or six feet of the pin, and ball rolled into the hole like a putt. Saturday, playing the 165-yard No. 16 hole, the signature hole at Coos Country Club, Jones hit a 6 iron to the back of the green and watched it trickle back into the hole. Both shots required carries over water, and were Jones' first holes-in-one since he had his left knee replaced in January.
