Birdie Hunt / Hole In One
Nic Coppola hit the first and only Hole in One on the Flamstead End Golf Society at Blakes Golf Club on the 6th October 2007: Nic's view below:
"I had just come off the back of a birdie 4 on the 4th to take me back to only 2 over par and was now feeling pretty good about the rest of the round. It was my honour on the next tee. I parked the buggy next to the yellow markers and saw that it was 179 yards. When I played this a month ago, I took a 6 iron and came up one club short. However, the wind was slightly in our faces so I took a 4 iron out. I think I hit this 4 iron as well as I have ever hit it before and knew that it was going to be pretty close.
I remember Duncan saying that's a hole in one,as soon as I hit it, I saw it bounce on the green and then lost sight of it so bent down and picked my tee up.
Sam then said ,That ball just disappeared. It's either a hole in one of has rolled off the back of the green.
I said It cant have gone in, but was obviously hoping it had. The others then took their shots and as Duncan walked up to the tee he said, I'll go halves with you in the bar afterwards! We then drove up towards the green and Sam said , If you can't see it on the green then it is definitely in the hole, I still didn't believe him but thought I'd walk up to the hole and check and, there it was, the old Titleist Pro V1 smiling back at me.I then jumped up and down and couldn't believe it.Anyway, my next tee shot was the worst of the day where I was still shaking so much!
