24.01.2022 Golf's Holy Grail by Adam Pearce Including 2020 Club information... In golf a hole in one occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start the hole finishes in the cup. A standard regulation golf ball is approximately 3cm in diameter. The typical round cup which you aim to get the ball into is approximately 12cm in diameter. Small ball big hole, so what’s the difficulty in getting the small ball into the big hole? After all golfers who have fell down while swinging the club have still struck the ball and had it go in the hole from the tee. People have broken their club, or had it fly out of their hands, and still had the ball find the hole. Occasionally, tee shots have hit trees, sprinkler heads and bunker rakes and gone in the hole. There are a number of factors which need to align for a hole in one to occur. These include distance to the hole, accuracy, the right projection, wind speed, and of course the most important, luck. Even if you have chosen the correct club, determined the impact of the wind, and hit the ball with a slight fade so the ball drifts towards the hole there is no certainty of getting that elusive hole in one. The hole-in-one phenomenon is as quirky and difficult as the rest of golf. And sometimes, the odds of smashing a driver 186m uphill hitting the flag of the way up and the ball dropping in are probably better. While some recreational golfers may record several hole-in-ones during their lifetime, the reality is that most of us won’t ever experience the thrill of jarring our tee shot from 100 plus meters. As most golfers are an optimistic bunch, we are always hanging onto the hope that one day we hit a golf shot that even Tiger Woods could not do better and get that elusive hole in one. In that moment, that is the greatest shot ever. Golf is upon us once again in 2020 and, we are conscious of the current guidelines and restrictions in place to limit the spread of covid 19. Measures put in place include Groups of 4 players with 10 minutes between tee times Social distancing to be practiced at all times No gatherings permitted after play Open comp (men and women) is every Sunday with tee off at 1200 and registration at 1130. Ladies social play on Wednesday starting at 9am. The fixtures can be found on our facebook page Toodyay Golf Club or for general enquires call Bruce Shaw (President) 0417 028 089 Adam Pearce (Captain) 0427 252 417. If we all do the right thing we will be able to get the fresh air and exercise that golf provides. The Toodyay Golf Club is looking forward to seeing players with all levels of experience to come out and try for Golfs Holy grail.
