Matt Vigurs, 32, achieved the extraordinary feat at Great Barr Golf Club in Birmingham, finding the cup with his drive on the par-four third hole. His playing partners all found their drives, but Vigurs’ ball was nowhere to be seen. He still went on to win his scratch match, while Droitwich Golf Club secured promotion by winning the league on the same day. Vigurs has kept the ball and is hoping Great Barr will help him commemorate the achievement. He added: ‘I’m trying to get in touch with Great Barr so they can give me a flag – I want to get it framed.
