Many golfers will go through their whole lives without ever having a hole-in-one, but not Ali Gibb. The 6-handicapper from Croham Hurst Golf Club in South Croydon, Surrey, had three hole-in-ones last week over the 36-hole Club Championships, a title she then went on to win.
To say that the tournament was a game of two halves for Ali would be an understatement. Along with a hole-in-one at the 5th, Ali finished her opening round with a 9 at the last. And it wasn't a dissimilar story in the afternoon either, with hole-in-ones at the 5th and 11th, but 8's at the 1st and 10th.
"Today was just a weird day. It was just very, very strange," she said. "On my card I had a nine, two eights, sixes, fives, fours, threes, twos and three ones."
"Our pro came up to me and said: 'I've had one hole-in-one in 42 years, you've just had three in five hours.'"
Ali has previously had three hole-in-ones; one at Surrey National Golf Club, and one at the Atlantic Beach Golf Estate in South Africa, and another at her home club, Croham Hurst, on the 7th.
