There was less action at the Buncrana Golf last week due to the weather, with only a few matches getting underway in the Winter League, but that didn’t Garbhan Fullerton from defying the odds.
67 Million to one record breaker – Garbhan Fullerton
Congratulations to Garbhan Fullerton who had the remarkable achievement of recording two holes in one-over 18 holes. While for most golfers to get a hole in one in their golfing career might never happen the odds an insurance company will give are 12,500/1 for a hole in 1. But the US National Hole-In-One Registry quotes odds of 67 million to one to get two holes in 1 in the same round over 18 holes of golf. This was a remarkable achievement by 20 handicapper Garbhan and puts him on a very short list worldwide of golfers who have ever managed to get 2 holes in 1 over 18 hole of golf.
