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.

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.

It seems given even a hint of a theme those good people in Yorkshire will run with it, hence as the Beijing Olympics get under way we have the Pudding Pentathlon.

Yes sports fans, while pudding is not the obvious choice of althletes it is at least 100% performance enhancing drug-free.

The sweet, which follows fast on the heels of Yorkshire's Black Swan's take on the Credit Crunch, has been created by the Best Western Monkbar hotel in York's head chef Dave Asbury and has five different desserts from the five continents represented by the Olympic Rings.

The desserts lining up under the starter's gun are:

Europe - bread and butter pudding

Oceania - peach melba

Asia - banana fritters

America - key lime pie

Africa - taste of Africa (a tiramisu-style dessert layered with Kenyan coffee sponge).

Quite enough to keep any human-rights protester fuelled and comfortable up their pylon of choice for days.
