Hard on the
heels of Hororata golfer, Al Sime getting a hole in one in March, another
Hororata golfer had a hole in one on Saturday.
Graeme Harris was one of the field who braved the weather and was
astounded when he hit a hole in one on the number six hole.
The number
six hole is called “Shorty” which speaks for itself having a distance of around 118 metres. He lined up the shot with a seven iron and
the ball bounced along the ground. He
was not happy with the shot and bent to pick up his tee. He asked his playing partner if they saw
where it went, expecting the worst. His
partner replied “in the hole” and started to laugh as the look on Graeme’s face
went from being bleak, to utter amazement.
Such is the
game of golf, that the hole in one was the high point of an otherwise terrible
round for Graeme. He said it was the
only hole he did ok on for the day! This
achievement is more than ok in any golfer’s book.
Graeme has
been playing golf for around 50 years and is on a 22 handicap. He has been a member at the Hororata Golf
Club for around 5 years and is not at all one eyed in saying that it is the
nicest course he has ever played on.
Good on you
Graeme and good luck with your golf in the future.
Who will it
be next?
