If only Joey Harrington had this much good fortune on the football field.
The Falcons' backup quarterback dropped a hole-in-one on the par-3, 132-yard sixth hole at Druid Hills Golf Club twice in a matter of days. The first, about two weeks ago, was Harrington's first ace and just the sixth time it's been accomplished since the hole was re-designed in 2004, according to club pro Randall Couch.

"He did it," Couch said.
The story doesn't end there.
Last Friday, as a fill-in at a club tournament, Harrington hit another hole-in-one on the elevated No. 6.
"It landed about 10 feet behind the cup and spun back in," Harrington said. "I don't think I'll be barred from playing that hole, ever, because I have to buy everybody drinks."
Said Couch: "I have people ride around and check things out during the day and [Harrington] sure did it again. He didn't say much when he came into the clubhouse but we already knew. He told me, 'I can't believe it.' I joked that it must be an easy hole.
"I think he was more elated about it the second time than he was the first."
Harrington, who is a cousin of PGA player Padraig Harrington, said he is a four-handicap. Starting quarterback Chris Redman is the only player with the Falcons who consistently challenges him on the golf course.
