Ian Preston recently recorded his 6th hole-in-one while playing the 9th hole at Dewsbury District Golf Club. He used an eight iron at the 132-yard famous "Tom Morris" hole.
His round was also memorable for another reason, his playing partner, who shall remain nameless, lost his clubs (the full set including the bag and trolley) whilst playing the 12th hole!!
The player chipped onto the green and then replaced his wedge into his bag which was on an electric trolley and took out his putter. On completion of the hole he returned only to find his clubs had disappeared. After Initially believing they had been stolen he began looking around and after few minutes and with no luck in locating them he returned to the clubhouse leaving his playing partners to continue their rounds.
He searched the course using a buggy only to eventually find them abandoned in the gorse alongside the 10th hole some 500 yards from where they were lost. Apparently the trolley had not been turned off properly and had just carried on until it came to rest in the gorse.
Ian, a former Club Captain, did not let this spoil his celebration, as he in the traditional manner bought a drink for everyone in the clubhouse on his return.
Meanwhile John Michael also recorded his second ever hole-in-one last month. He has also holed out with his tee shot another time but it was his 2nd ball off the tee! His latest ace was achieved using an eight iron at the 129-yard 18th hole set right in front of the clubhouse at Dewsbury.
John (right) is pictured along with his playing partner Doug Roberts on the balcony overlooking the green where the hole-in-one was achieved. Drinks were provided in the clubhouse to celebrate the ACE!
