Boy golfer is a hole-in-one machine
Tuesday 19th July 2011, 7:30PM BST.
Schoolboy Jack Bishop is proving Shropshire golf’s very own hole-in-one machine – after incredibly notching two in the last month.
The 13-year-old, a pupil at Oldbury Wells School in Bridgnorth, holed out at the 182-yard 17th at Ludlow on Saturday in the second round of the Shropshire & Herefordshire Boys Championship.
Jack used a five wood – the same club he used to hole out at the second in the Junior Championships at his home club of Patshull Park in June.
“It’s absolutely mad that’s it’s happened twice in the last month,” said Jack’s mother Lesley.
“He was a bit down on Saturday because he was having a bad day in torrential rain in the morning and gales in the afternoon.
“But as soon as he had the hole-in-one it was the boost he needed and he ended the day on a real high.”
Jack, who lives in Wolverhampton, plays off a handicap of 10 and is a regular in the Shropshire & Herefordshire under-14s team.
