The odds of a golfer shooting a hole-in-one are pretty high on the best of days.

But Tom Weedon's ace on the par three 16th at Kirtlington on Sunday must take some beating.

The 28-year-old, who describes his handicap as "around 25" and does not belong to a club, produced the master stroke during Ardley United FC's golf day.

The 168-yard hole was chosen for the closest to the pin competition, but blustery conditions were causing havoc.

Weedon, who was invited to play by his friend, Ardley manager Ian Feaver, said: "I got the ball straight in the hole, but no one else got on the green.

"It was my first hole-in-one. I thought I had hit it well and it was going straight, but then it bounced twice and went in the hole."

Feaver added: "He was having a bad round. On the next hole he lost the ball and we had to search for ages to find it."

Weedon, who works for Oxford breakdown firm Isis Rescue, received a trophy for his efforts.

He said: "I'm now making sure I keep the ball safe."

Also bagging his first hole-in-one that day was Steve Payne, who aced the 122-yard par-three 14th at Waterstock while playing in the St Andrews Cup.

The 11-handicapper scooped only the second hole-in-one in a Waterstock competition and his playing partners included Alf Baldwin, who was also in the group on the other occasion.

Sunday's drama continued with an albatross on the par five fifth in Tadmarton Heath's Amateur Men's Open.

The soon-to-be-lengthened hole saw a total of 46 birdies and four eagles, but it was Michael Abbotts (Staverton Park) who netted the biggest bird of all.
