Following Eugene O’Brien's and Walter Shepherd’s holes in one, one handicap member Lindsay Law holed his 8 iron tee shot at the 13th hole on the Championship course in the Autumn Meeting on Saturday 26th August 2006.

This makes it 4 holes in one on three consecutive Saturdays.

Has this ever been done before?

What a week that was for holes in one!

First - Walter Shepherd holes his six iron tee shot at the thirteenth on Saturday 12th August.

One week later Euguene O’Brien a 3 handicap member holes in one twice in the one round!

A stunning achievement, the equivalent to winning the lottery.  Eugene holed his five iron tee shot at the thirteenth then followed this by holing his driver at the 245 yard sixteenth.  The sixteenth is rated one of the most difficult par threes in golf - obviously not for Eugene.

Congratulations to both players.

(The Secretary/Manager was seen crying in his beer at the cost to the Club of all those bottles of Whisky!)
