Amateur golfer pulls off staggering 1.95 trillion-to-one feat

An amateur golfer has made three aces in a month. 

Lyn Parry, 74, achieved the 1.95 trillion to one feat in October at Tiverton Golf Club. 

She embraced the sport at 58 and astonishingly scored two aces before pulling off this remarkable achievement

Both of those aces came on the 11th and 13th holes at Downs Crediton Golf Club in Hookway, Devon. 

"The holes-in-one have just come along a bit like buses, but for me it's just about having fun," she said. 

"You're never too old. The beauty of golf is that it's for all ages. My only regret is that I didn't play when I was younger, as I might have been even better."

For amateur golfers, the odds of recording a hole-in-one are approximately 12,500/1. 

The odds drop to about 2,500/1 for professional golfers. 

England Golf say Parry's achievement were estimated at 1.95 trillion to one. 

James Crampton, England Golf's championships director, said: "The odds are staggering and Lyn's achievement is astounding. Some people go their whole lives without getting a hole-in-one, let alone three in a month."

The feat is not the only thing Mrs Parry has to shout about. 

She has improved her handicap index by seven strokes to 19.4 this year.

She added: "Golf's always appealed to me. My late husband used to play and was a good golfer and I used to get fed up of listening to golf talk all the time.

"So, I thought I've got to get into this and see what it's like. It's a great social game and you learn a lot of self-discipline really, as it's you against the course, and the course usually wins. 

"I've made plenty of friendships through golf and I think my message to women and girls is it's not just for the lads. Girls can achieve just as much, so give it a go."
