Using his 9 iron on the 13th tee, he sent his ball soaring gracefully over the right hand bunker to land on the green, roll down and drop into the hole. A erwards he was heard to remark that it had only taken him 40 years to achieve this, his rst ever hole-in-one! As is the tradition at New Forest Golf Club Seniors, instead of Dave having to buy drinks all round, all those present donated to the Seniors Captain’s charity “Sophie’s Legacy”.
