Two aces on the same day
Tuesday, 1st December 2009.
Congratulations go to two Haverhill golfers, Gerry Scott and Frank Smith, who both celebrated a hole in one on the same day - Saturday, November 28!
Gerry was playing in the mixed foursomes match against Seckford, when his tee shot on the second , using an eight iron for the 125-yard par three, was heading directly for the pin.
The ball took one bounce on the green and then went straight in the hole for an ace!
Frank Smith, who was playing in a social round of golf, struck gold on the 12th using his four wood on the 186-yard par three. This was Frank’s second hole in one in three months, (the other being on 16th) and his fifth since starting to play golf in 1985!
