Roy’s 4th ace
On Wednesday the 23rd of June 2021, Roy Davenport had his fourth ever ace at the 132 yard 4th hole at Old Padeswood Golf Club in the Clwyd and Border Alliance with a sweetly struck 8 iron.
Roy, playing partners Shakey, Snowy and Ian Suckley watched it nudge the pin on the top layer of the 2-tier green and settle by the hole not convinced it was actually in. As the fourball crossed the bridge to the green the ball disappeared into the cup. Congratulations to Roy !
More whiskey in the marquee
On Saturday the 5th of June 2021, Dave Sheppard had his second ever ace at the 6th in the Norman Logsdail Jubilee Tray with a hybrid [5-iron equivalent] club.
Dave and playing partners Steve Pritchard and Mungo Munro claimed not to have seen it go in because of the unusual light conditions [blue skies and glorious sunshire !]
Lucky or unlucky ?
