Golfer Makes Hole-In-One With A PUTTER!

A golfer made a hole-in-one with a putter! Meanwhile, we still haven’t made one with any club…
Andrew Easdale, a 36-handicapper undergoing cancer treatment allegedly did the unthinkable on the 85-yard par-3 5th on the Short Course at Trevose in the UK.
According to a Golf Monthly report, it’s the shortest and tightest of the holes on the par-29 layout … and features a small green – about 40ft by 30ft – guarded by bunkers.
“I could claim that with links courses one ought to stay low when playing near the green and that, as the conditions were dry and fast-running, the putter seemed the best option,” the 62-year-old Easdale said.
“But that is a retrospective justification of what was at the time just an impulsive act by a jolly frustrated golfer.

“I had failed to muster even a halfway decent drive or chip thus far that day, so I had simply thought ‘hang it all, might as well use my putter here as it’s the one club that’s working for me‘.
“I hit it well and the ball looked as if it would end up on the green – which I was more than happy with. But the ball just kept rolling, and then it disappeared. I was initially puzzled, and even asked ‘where did it go?’, before the penny finally dropped. Total disbelief – holes in one are for good golfers, not me!”
A putter! What?! Have to respect the fact he played to his strengths. Bold strategy and it paid off…
