31st of March, Twas a beautiful sunny day. Portmarnock, County Dublin, was where we headed to play. What an afternoon, oh how the sun shone. But all I will remember, was a 7 iron, my ProV1x and a hole in one!
Started playing in 1987. Never had a hole in one - the closest was about 7 years ago when I pitched two inches from the pin and it ended up 2 inches from the hole ! Playing the winter greens at Inverurie- my home club - with my wife on a cold winters…
Always a good day when you hit a nice shot only to put your putter away when you get to the green.
I was testing a TMB 2 iron to see if I liked it before buying, got my ace at Wilpshire on the 11th into a strong headwind. Rolled off the bank of the right hand bunker, hit the pin then dropped! My Bro-in-Law was gutted at first then obviously chuffed…

Afraid it's been a few years since my last hole in one. I do remember my first though. Turned 18 and bought my first full set of matched irons. Titleist DTR's. Box grooves that could tear the balata covering off my professional 100. Seven iron. Flushed…
Playing off yellow tees at Clober Golf Club with my brother Paul, Marty from Pauls work and my brother-in-law Damian. Par 3 170 yards played my 3 hybrid my Paul called it straight away saying thats just disappeared, i was sure it ran through the back…
I've just left the RAF after a 20 year career and was struggling to recover from a back injury sustained in a helicopter crash. This gives me an 'unauthordox' swing at best. The regular Saturday morning fiddle was low on numbers, so myself and Big Al…
