RARE ALBATROSS AT UMHLALI COUNTRY CLUB

There are many beautiful birds on the Umhlali course but on Friday 1st October a rare ‘sighting’ was made – an albatross. Ian Cole, playing in the regular Friday afternoon Meat Competition, hit a drive followed by a 3 wood directly into the hole for a 2 on the 486 metre par 5 10th hole. Duard Nel, Umhlali CC Golf Manager, in presenting Ian with a bottle of Bell’s, said ‘a 2 on a par 5 (an albatross, sometimes called a double eagle) is achieved far less frequently than a hole in one. Ian should be proud of his feat!’

Ian Cole, holding his prize, celebrates his albatross with playing partners Mark Galbraith, Graham Wessels and Mark Tutton
