Scarborough South Cliff duo land back-to-back aces
A hole -in-one in golf is a rare event, but most players have either had one or know someone who has had one and some players have had several in their golf careers.
The hole where this extraordinary event took place was the 14th, a 145-yard par three.

Barr took an eight iron and was delighted to see his ball hit the green and roll into the hole.
The following group heard the cries of jubilation and saw the celebrations as they were finishing on the 13th green.
Next to play was Barry Moment, the first player in his group. He promptly did exactly that using a seven iron to score the first hole-in-one of his playing career.
