Holes in One

This Topic records the details of golfers who have scored a hole in one at MGGC.

 

The Topic is also used as a common reference to relate Items such as hole in one trophies and policies for prizes awarded for a hole in one achievement.

 

The Holes in One pdf attachment is a list of all holes in one at MGGC throughout its history. This list is periodically updated.

 

There are two sets of data. The left-hand set lists each hole in one in chronological order. The right-hand set lists the number of holes in one scored by individuals sorted from highest to lowest. The information is maintained in a separate spreadsheet and updated as results occur.

 

The lists of holes in one have been obtained from honour boards, annual reports, newsletters, Ladies Committee minutes, Board minutes and golf result reports. In addition, personal communication with members is also recognised where they can substantiate a hole in one that is not recorded in these other sources.

 

Most holes in one are achieved on par three holes. However, there have been holes in one achieved on par four hole 15 since it was shortened in 2011.

 

Current policy is that holes in one are only recognised when achieved:

      (This excludes temporary holes included during course work to replace another hole which is out of play.)

      (This excludes social play and members from other clubs.)

 

However, historical records show that this was not always the policy. In a Board minute dated 22/6/89 the Ladies committee were advised that they should recognise a hole in one achieved by a visitor. The hole in one achievements have been retained in the lists if they were previously recorded in the historical list of sources noted above.
