The build up to Spackler XII at Glenmore park in two weeks has been rudely interrupted by the earth shattering news that Chris Mercer had a hole-in-one on Wednesday.
He played nine holes on Wednesday at Cammeray GC and on the 3rd hole he flushed a sand-wedge straight in the hole.
“As soon as I’d hit it I said to James, that’s all over it. It bounced 2 feet before the hole, stopped 1 metre behind the hole and then spun back in. hole-in-one.” Chris said. James was reportedly the first to realise it was in the hole and over the moon but later that night, Barry Lavelle was non-plussed when he heard of the news.
Chris wondered if it was the first hole-in-one by a Spackler golf member since it’s inception a few years ago but AD mentioned that Paddy has had one. Is this correct?
Chris claimed he also hit 600 golf balls at practice last week and it’s now added to the excitement of the upcoming Spackler event. Perhaps this may also place him as favourite to grab the jacket off of Stu in a week’s time.

Wow, have I lost weight in 12 months? Merce
ReplyDeleteIn fact chris hit over 1000 balls last week in practice, which is ironic because on Saturday he shot 108 at the River Side Oaks Club champs. Yes, that's right, one hundred and eight (36 over the card!!. Apparently he had sore hands from too much practice!! herb
