Terry Lilly achieved the impossible on 21st of December 1997 by having two holes-in-one, on the same day, on the same hole, with the same ball, the same club and the same flight of the ball in competition. It was a 12-hole re-enter. Can anybody beat that?
This is the home club of my good friend Kevin Blounnt, who played in goal into his 50s for Shelburne, Bohs and any other club who would have him!. Known as the "Black Cat". Kevin holds the course record in Slade. He played on a team for me in a charity at Blainroe G.C., I put him out with three "young tigers". They won, and Kevin said to me after "I've played with good players in my time, but where did you get this three."
