TWO HOLES IN ONE IN THREE WEEKS ... ANOTHER STAR RISING IN RORY McILROY COUNTRY?

FROM THE BELFAST TELEGRAPH WEBSITE

The latest boy wonder to emerge from Holywood Golf Club, near Belfast, is 15-year-old Jon McClements.

Within three weeks, the 5ft 1in Lagan College pupil, who plays off a nine handicap, has bagged a hole-in-one — TWICE!
The first was at the ninth hole on July 6, amazing himself and others, and the second was at the 10th hole last Sunday.
Like Rory McIlroy, who also honed his skills at Holywood, Jon started playing with plastic golf clubs when he was just three years old.
Decked out in his Fred Daly (former Open winner from Northern Ireland) top , Jon explained to the Belfast Telegraph the circumstances of his rare achievement on the par three holes. 
“The first time I was with three of my friends in a juvenile competition,” Jon said. “It was a blind tee shot. I hit a seven iron up and it was looking like a good shot.
“We walked up and couldn’t find it and then my friend said ‘someone has had a hole in one’. Someone shouted the ball number and it was me.
“Everyone was laughing. John the ranger was there and everyone was cheering for me.
“The second time, it was also a blind tee shot. I couldn’t believe it and I started laughing.”
Jon’s proud firefighter father, Tony, who plays on the senior team at Holywood Golf Club, is thrilled for his ‘ace’ son and is encouraging him to pursue his dream of being a pro-golfer, just like Rory
“Some of the guys from the club have been playing for 50 years and have never had one, never mind two,” Tony said.
