  1. I returned to playing Golf this summer after a 24 year hiatus. I'd previously been a junior member and regular player at Mullion Golf Club. This was my first and hopefully not last Hole in one. The 9th hole at Radnor Golf and Leisure is 102 yards, the pin is located towards the front of a realtively small green and is around 10ft from a fairly large water obstacle, you can either aim left and avoid the water or go all in and shoot over the water in the hope that the ball lands on the green, strike the ball too hard and you risk over running the green and going out of bounds. My go to club on this particular hole is my 9 iron, I could tell when I struck the ball that it was a nice clean shot, I watched as the ball climbed high into the sky dropping around 2-3ft behind the water, the ball landed heavy and only bounced a couple of times, we'd had a couple of days of light rain which had taken the firmness out of the greens. The ball then rolled about 2-3ft dropping in the hole, we could hear the ball drop which I was surprised at given the distance, I was in complete shock my playing partner went crazy and started hugging me, he filmed the walk to the hole, I was still in disbelief when I saw my ball sitting there looking up at me, what a great feeling, sufficing to say I've retired the ball, it now sits on the window ledge in the office as a reminder.
