During a Grey Nags’ match at Fulford Heath on 7th June 2011, Roland Oliver scored his first ever hole in one, using a 7 iron from the elevated 11th tee, imperiously carrying the 137 yards and nestling into the hole after a single bounce.
Roland and playing partner, Gerry Robbins pushed on to win 3 and 1 against Fulford’s Lionel Baird and Bryan Dyhouse, but could not save the team from going down four and a half / two and a half overall.
It was a most enjoyable excursion played on the delightful Fulford Heath course where the greens are in exceptional condition.
This was the second hole in one witnessed by Gerry during Nags’ matches over the previous 4 weeks, indicating the quality of play which can prevail in competitive Senior’s golf.
