Seventh Heaven

We've all had it.

The round where your scorecard looks more like Kevin Pietersen's run rate than a round of golf. It was no different for golfer Allan Errington. Playing in a staff golf day at Newmachar Golf Club, he averaged seven for the first eight holes before reaching the par three 9th.

"I had hit seven on each hole, so I thought I may as well use my seven iron here" said the Operations manager from Aberdeen. The shot he then proceeded to hit bounced once before dropping straight into the cup. "I hit the ball and I knew it was good and I saw it go in. It was a fantastic feeling".

The feeling was probably made slightly more fantastic by the £15,000 car that he won for his troubles, which he says his wife would now be driving. Rather than being the catalyst for success though, Mr Errington then proceeded to lose 23 balls in the next nine holes after his hole in one.

Good effort.
