Rubbish Golfer Flukes Ace

Ian Poulter: Sporting the obligatory hole-in-one pose...

Golf's a funny old game, isn't it? Us half decent golfers play golf all our lives and, if we're lucky, we may come within a few feet of getting a hole-in-one. So what right does Allan Errington - a self-confessed 'rubbish' golfer - have to fluke an ace and win a Volkswagen golf worth £15,000?

43-year-old Errington was averaging seven strokes a hole at a company golf event, but on the par-three ninth at Newmachar GC, Aberdeen, he pured a seven iron and watched it bounce once before disappearing into the hole.

'It's quite embarrassing. I have only played golf about 15 times,' he said. And just to prove it was a one-off, he ended up losing another 23 balls during the rest of his round.... and his wife's going to be driving the car, anyway.

In accepting the prize, does this not now make him lose his amateur status, and, have to play off scratch in future tournaments?
