Pair of aces for Falcons QB Harrington

Backup signal-caller has two hole-in-ones at Druid Hills Golf Club

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

he didnt have to rely on the o-line for anything. life is good when your not in a hurry:D:D

Wow.... why all the Harrington hate?

He's a back-up....  he shouldn't even matter... like Redman and ESPECIALLY Shockley...

They're ALL back-ups and Ryan is the guy...

Shouldn't the ESPECIALLY be in front of the only guy to ever post a 0.0 passer rating in franchise history?  Has Shockley ever had a chance when healthy and our #1 wasn't out there?  Neither Redman or Shockley matter, but it's amusing when anyone thinks Chief Redman should definitely be above anyone on a depth chart after proving nothing in his pro career.

Nevertheless, good for Joey-he hasn't caught many breaks in his pro life after leading a charmed collegiate career.

Harrington married Dr. Emily Hatten on March 10, 2007. They have known each other since high school but did not begin dating until after he had graduated from college. Harrington has spoken about opening a medical clinic to serve the homeless in Portland, Oregon after he retires from football[

There was a pic of her in the AJC last year, but I couldn't find it. Not too many pics of her floating around.

I am not a stalker. Stalkers are crazy.

Stalkers are crazy.

Stalkers are crazy.

Stalkers are crazy.

Stalkers are crazy. :w00t:
