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 !]
