Steve Kleiser Aces Third at Tytherington
Tytherington member Steve Kleiser enjoyed the experience of getting his first-ever hole-in-one after 50 years of trying.
A delighted Steve said: “It was not in a competition just a Tuesday Roll-Up with the nine-hole group.
“It came on the 133-yard third hole off the yellow tee. I hit my 24 degree hybrid.
“My ball flew high and straight and I heard it land on the green. The flag was positioned in the middle of the green, but you can’t see the hole because of the mound in front of the green.”
Steve, who was playing alongside Jim Stone, Donald Cameron, and Dave Travis, added:
When we got to the green, my ball was nowhere to be seen. I checked if it had gone through the green, then tentatively looked in the hole, and there it was.
“I called the others to me to watch me take the ball from the hole and to verify that it was my ball. When we had established it was definitely my ball, there were handshakes and congratulations all round.
“We were the fourth group of six playing that day, and I gave my membership card to Steve Jennings in the first group and asked him to set up a bar tab and that the drinks that morning were going to be on me.
“When I got into the clubhouse, I was heartily congratulated by the rest of the players and a few old players who still come to the club to have a coffee with us at the end of our nine holes.
“Strangely enough, Ivan Frost was there too, and I had been playing with him a few years earlier when he had a hole-in-one, too.”
