THREE Deeside Golf Club members scored holes in one inside a three-day period – all at different holes.

Tom Paton was partnered by Andrew Morrell and John Gillespie when he holed his tee shot at the 177yd first hole using a five wood.

On the same day, Scott Kelman was partnered by Alisdair McKenzie and David Wadsworth when he holed his tee shot at the 160yd 12th hole using a nine iron.

Two days later, former club captain George Esson aced his tee shot at the 145yd 14th hole using a seven iron when playing alongside George Runcie.

Club professional Frank Coutts said: “We’re not sure if it is a unique feat but it is certainly a special one.”
