Hole-in-One

GSGB Holes in One

The most recent hole in one was on the 2008 South American Tour on February 22nd at Marbella in Chile when Pauline Stock performed the feat. Her husband, Andrew, and his playing partners called up the ladies on the par 3. They then had the pleasure of watching the well struck shot hit the green, take a borrow of at least 10 feet and drop neatly in the centre of the hole. Unfortunately no cameras were to hand to record this but there is a fine picture below of Pauline receiving the congratulations of the Captain of the Guard at the Presidential Palace when we returned to Santiago.

The previous hole in One was at the Society Meeting (23rd August) at Luffenham Heath. It was on the 17th hole, a long downhill par 3 measuring 176 yards off the Ladies tee. The lucky, or more correctly, skilful lady was Johanna Somers from Alwoodley seen below with her special prize. Jackie Hesketh, the Society's efficient and hardworking Secretary is congratulating her on her success. One nice feature of the 17th is that you can actually see the ball go into the hole.

One interesting fact to remember, if you ever get a hole-in-one in a U.K. meeting , is that the Society stand the round of drinks!
