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?
