Double Hole In one for Murrayshall Lady Member Jean McEwan!

How many of us can but dream of achieving a hole in one - all I am sure as we eye up the short Par 3 facing us during each round we play!

Jean McEwan achieved an amazing double recently at the same hole and within a three week period!

Jean was playing Murrayshall Ladies Invitation day on Monday, May 13th when at the 18th hole she hit her last tee shot of the day and scored a tremendous hole in one much to the delight of her guest and playing partners!

Some three weeks later while playing in a preliminary round of the Summer Trophy, Jean once again stepped up on the 18th tee, lined herself up and swung her club. To the astonishment of her playing partners (and Jean herself!) the beautifully executed shot soared through the air, landed on the green and rolled right up to the hole before disappearing from sight! An amazing second hole in one!

We send our heartfelt congratulations to Jean for this amazing achievement - I am sure you are all glad you haven't had to pay for Jean's bar bill!
