NEWTON, Mass., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A Massachusetts man said he scored a hole in one at a Newton, Mass., golf course one week after his father achieved a similar feat at the same course.

Brian Hurley, 36, said he sank his 167-yard hole in one on the par-3 seventh hole of the Newton Commonwealth Golf Course Sunday, exactly one week after his father, Bill, 65, struck his own 145-yard hole in one on the 16th hole, also a par-3 hole, The Boston Globe reported.

"I've been working here for three years, and we only get a handful of holes in one a year," said Gerry Zegarelli, 21, who works in the Newton Commonwealth Golf Course pro shop. "To see two people from the same family make a hole in one in the same week is pretty impressive."

Dummy coyotes fool humans, not geese

HAMMOND, Ind., Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Indiana officials said they plan to remove decoy coyotes from islands on Wolf Lake after they failed to scare off geese but successfully fooled motorists.

Officials said the dummy coyotes failed to stop geese from feeding on fresh plantings on the islands -- although they did spark multiple calls from motorists who believed the decoys to be stranded dogs, the Gary (Ind.) Post-Tribune reported.

"We've been getting calls from neighbors and people driving by, 'There's a dog trapped on the island!'" Hammond Port Authority Director Milan Kruszynski said.

Army Corps of Engineers contractor J.W. New placed the two-dimensional coyote cutouts on the islands last year, intending to scare off geese and ducks. A spokesman for the contractor said the items were initially effective.

"The geese are very wary of them, then eventually they figure it out," J.W. New spokesman Jon Dittmar said.

He said he can understand how some motorists may have been fooled by the dummy dogs.

"They're very striking when you first come upon them. I could see how it would be for someone driving by at 70 mph," Dittmar said.

Wife sells hubby's mistress' underpants

QUEENSLAND, Australia, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A Queensland, Australia, woman said she is auctioning off underwear that was left at her home by her husband's alleged mistress.

The woman, who identified herself as Anna, said in the item's listing on eBay Australia the auction winner will get the "size humongous" pair of lacy black panties and a "size small" empty condom wrapper that her husband used for his alleged infidelity, the Melbourne Herald Sun reported.

"They are so huge I thought they may make someone a nice shawl or, even better, something for Halloween perhaps," Anna said of the underpants.

The seller said the auction will not be her last eBay-based attack against her allegedly cheating mate -- she said his Harley Davidson (NYSE:HOG) motorcycle will soon be up for auction with a starting price of less than a dollar.

Malfunction sells gas at super bargain

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A "pump malfunction" sold premium gasoline for 38 cents a gallon to lucky customers for several hours at a San Antonio convenience store, the manager says.

Jim Duke, manager of the Dill Food Mart, said he checked it out Thursday after watching an unusually large crowd gassing up at one particular pump Wednesday afternoon.

"I was inside and they were paying at the pump and nobody came in so nobody told me what was happening," Duke told WOAI-AM.

He found to his chagrin that "a decimal point had slipped" and instead of selling premium gas for $3.89 a gallon, the pump was dispensing it for 38 cents a gallon.

"We lost a lot of money," Duke said, although he wasn't sure how much.

Business was way down at that pump Thursday afternoon.
