A golfer aged five could have swung into the record books as the youngest girl to hit a hole in one. |
At five years old, Eleanor Gamble has become one of the youngest golfers to achieve every player's lifetime ambition of sinking a hole in one.
The 3ft 5in youngster managed to drive her ball 86 yards over a lake, round a bunker and straight into a cup on the par three hole - to rapturous applause from fellow golfers.
She was playing in a juniors contest with her brother Jacob, ten, at Cambridge Lakes golf course on Thursday.
‘She got the ball over the water and then it hopped over a bunker and someone shouted that she had got it in,’ said her 34-year-old father, David.
‘We were all quite speechless really. I think she might have broken a record because the youngest female hole-in-one golfer listed on the Guinness World Records website is an eight-year-old from America.’
Bob Barnes, who owns the course in Cambridge, said: ‘This is the first time anything like this has happened.’
