As we all know golf ruins a perfectly good walk but for one rubbish player it also netted him a brand new car after a wonderfully flukey hole-in-one.
Allan Errington, an operations manager for Sodexo, was taking part in a company golf day at Newmachar Golf Club at the start of the month when lady luck finally took pity on him.
Errington - who up until this point had been slogging around the course averaging seven on each hole - hit a perfect shot on the par-three hole nine and thanks to a company deal with the National Hole in One Association won himself a £15,000 VW Golf.
The rub (of the green)? Following his feat Errington is now classed as a professional standard golfer and can no longer enter competitions as an amateur.
The solution? Errington has retired from the game and will no doubt be shortly driving off into the sunset in his new motor.
