Ace For The Trolley Dolly

HOLES-in-one are always worthy of celebration but two local ladies achieved their latest aces in spectacular fashion.

Ann Kerr of Davyhulme Park Golf Club, the designer and supplier of the excellent Trolley Dolly bag had her first-ever ace at her own club a number of years ago and her big regret was that she didn’t actually see it go into the hole on the par three 120-yard 17th hole.

Ann said: "I was a relative beginner at the game and with the hole being well protected at the front by a pond and bunkers my only aim was to get the ball to the back of the green.

"I hit a three-wood to ensure that it did this and was delighted when it hit the flagstick full on and then disappeared.

"After a long search around the green we eventually discovered that it had gone into the hole to everyone’s delight.

"The latest one came during a club four-ball match-play round with Jenny Page as my partner.

"We went into the 17th hole leading by two shots and Jenny said to me to make sure again that my ball landed on the green to finish the match off so that we could get to the club barbeque night which was going on at the time.

"This time with my handicap now down to 17 I was able to hit a seven-iron and having hit it well and seeing that it was bound for the green I bent down to pick my tee-peg up.

"There was a great scream from my playing partners as they saw the ball go into the hole but once more I had failed to see it for myself.

"We were soon back to a crowded clubhouse and it proved to be an expensive celebration of my second ace.
