Craig Chadwick Gets a hole in one!
Date 1st May 2010.
Craig set up on the 18th and facing a 300 yard shot.
He swings and the ball sets off and makes a bee line to the green.
He knew it should be close to the green, but as he walks over the hill there was no sign of the ball so all 4 players start looking.
Peter Thornton walked over to the hole to find the ball in the cup so the celebrations started.
This is first time a hole in one has been made on our stroke 6, as it's a very testing hole with the driving range to the right and trees to the left.
CONGRATULATIONS CRAIG FROM ALL THE MEMBERS AT CASTLE HAWK.
