MAGICAL FEAT AT MACHRIE

If you were a card player you would know that an Ace in the Hole can be beaten by three of a kind.

And so it was in the Medal round on Sunday 3^rd June 2001 that David Drewett broke all records by scoring three magic twos at the par three holes.

Sad to say David's achievement is not recognised in the same way a hole in one receives reward. No insurance money to cover his round of drinks, no bottle of whisky or a Golden Goose putter courtesy of national newspapers, no certificates or ties, - no luck!

He even picked a poor day for the magic two kitty. On a normal day he could get £5 or £6 sharing with other magic two' but the total pot was only £6.

Even match secretary Ralph Middleton had a go at him. After securing his third two at the 12^th the 'wheels came off' and several sixes later resulted in his 10 handicap rising to 11.

David has been a member for several years and last year retired to Portnahaven from the mainland.
