It was a beautiful summers day, back in 1992, Nan lined up to play her shot on the 6th hole at the Burnie Golf Club.it was a par 3, one that Nan had played probably hundreds of times before, but today was different. She played her shot, which came off the club beautifully, right towards the pin, then started her journey towards the green to play her second shot. Weirdly however, on reaching the green, the ball was nowhere to be seen. Thinking it may have had enough speed when hitting the hard surface of the green to perhaps skim off and into the bunker, or into a close by bush. After more than 10 minutes of unsuccessful searching, one of the golfers with nan thought of looking in the hole, and unbelievably, they're was Nan's ball. A hole in one!!!! Nan has the ball in bedded in a trophy that has sat in her cabinet for the past 33 years, so I decided it deserved to have some attention brought to it again and with a golf themed frame I created to make it somewhat relevant with my page. When I asked Nan if I could share the story, she said " oh a hole in one isnt a big deal, plenty of people have scored lots of them" but I'm not so sure of that...
