Jordan Spieth may be the Masters champion but a Fife golfer could claim to have a swing fit for a king.
Drew Lumsden, 58, really does have the rub of the green having made six holes-in-one in the past year.
A member of both St Andrews and the St Andrews Thistle Golf Clubs, the fairway fanatic admits that he had never before secured an elusive “ace” before his recent flurry, which has staggered his friends and playing partners.
His first hole-in-one came last May at the par-three fifth hole at the Eden Course.
However, Drew admits that he never actually witnessed the dramatic outcome of his stunning shot.
“I hit an eight iron on to the green,” he said. “It was just slightly right of the flag and, to be honest, I didn’t see it going in.
“I thought it might have gone through the green but my playing partner said I should take a look in the hole and there it was.”
For most club golfers achieving an ace is more significant than winning their first club medal.
However, as well as the time-honoured tradition of buying a drink for everyone in the clubhouse, Mr Lumsden says that a hole-in-one is potentially devastating to the scorecard, as well as the wallet.
“Getting a hole-in-one is a mixture of emotions a bit like playing the Old Course for the first time,” he continued.
“The adrenaline was pumping and I think it took about four holes to settle down afterwards.”
The owner of a landscape gardening firm is also accumulating a very impressive collection of designer watches, handed out to players scoring a hole-in-one in a club competition.
So far he has two and is awaiting a third with friends now queuing up to take delivery of his surplus timepieces.
Asked how other golfers could emulate his success, he said: “I would say that you have to be aggressive you’ve got to go at the flag.
“As a golfer you know what you have to do but you can’t afford to think about it too much.”
