Having previously had two holes in one on the par 3, 14th hole the men’s captain, John Prescott, duly teed-up his ball and, having selected his five metal wood, pondered the prospect of yet a third.
Perhaps feeling a bit under clubbed he chose to put a little bit more effort into his swing and duly faded the ball nicely into the Driffield Beck for the trout to enjoy.
However, undaunted he placed another ball on the tee, lined up, and with his previous shot in mind, repeated it with exactly the same result!
Trout 2 Prescott 0
Unfazed by these setbacks, he selected another ball, changed his club to a three wood, and, lined up for a third time. A little more care this time, he only put the ball on the bank, but, out of bounds.
OOB 3 Prescott 0
The fourth ball was duly placed on the tee and, this time, with much concentration, common sense prevailing, he hit a sweet shot just to the left of the bunker and nicely onto the green and, into the hole for a seven.
OOB 3 Prescott 1
Well it is not everyday that you enjoy seeing your ball going into the hole off the tee!
