Peter Taylor hit his in “The Wednesday Hat” on the par three 14th. Craig Tiffen won the competition with 41pts.
Alan McGuckin was the other player to score a “hole in one” but his was at the fourth hole, which is a par 4 and for those not familiar with golf terms this is known as an “Albatross”, three under par, a truly spectacular shot.
