Golfer Shoots One-Armed Hole-in-One
A hole-in-one is a true rarity in the game of golf. So, such a feat by a legally-blind man, playing with just one arm due to a disability, must defy all odds.
Alan Perrin served in the British Royal Marines until 1992 when he was injured in a bomb explosion during training exercises. The blast left him with a disabled right arm, blind in his left eye and with compromised vision in the other, the Daily Mirror reported.
Despite those physical limitations, the former soldier turned to golf.
Playing at his local club in Devon, England recently, the 45-year-old made a one-handed drive towards a tee 160 yards away. The shot was perfect, though Perrin and his golfing partner didn't know it at first. They thought the ball was lost.
"We spent five minutes looking [for the ball] but didn't want to hold up the next group so we moved on," Scotsman.com reported Perrin saying.
"When the group behind us reached the green they found a ball in the hole and shouted up, 'Anyone lost a yellow ball?'" he recalled. "It was mine. I asked where they found it — and it was in the hole."
An amateur golfer with a handicap of 28, Perrin said, "I was stunned. I was a hole-in-one virgin up to then. I took up golf some time after my accident and have only ever played with one arm."
