A Hole-In-One At Last!

During many years of playing golf, I watched three of my playing buddies get their ‘hole-in-one’ but only one was a real shot ….. the rest were pure ‘flukes’. One even hit the rail of the bridge over the water hole, skidded onto the green and down the hole … nobody asks you how you did this …. you just did!

Then, it was my turn. Picture this …. this par 3 is a real classic. Not a long hole, but the raised green has steep banks on both sides, so anything left or right will leave a very difficult chip shot up to the green with very high scores not unusual! There’s a deep bunker at the front of the green and a flat bunker at the back. From the tee, you see the green through an avenue of trees. This is the 12th hole at Durban Country Club, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa …. also known as the Prince of Wales hole because the Prince (King Edward VIII) who played here in 1924 needed 17 strokes to complete the hole!
