The world’s official longest hole in one belongs to Robert Mitera, who hit a 447 yard drive - wonder what he had for breakfast - and put his ball into the cup. The feat occurred on October 7th 1965 and it was the 10th hole at the Miracle Hills GC. Robert Mitera didn`t even know what had happened until the golfers ahead of him told him of his amazing feat. Well, here at Golfplan we appreciate a good hole in one, so if you are golf insurance on cover with Golfplan and you get a hole in one during a competition, we will reimburse the cost of the round of drinks in the club house up to £300. They will also send you a certificate to mark the occasion and put you on their website roll of honour list.
Added to our roll of honour in March 2010 were Mr Herbert Graham Haigh who hit 159 yards on the 3rd hole at West Lancashire GC and Mr RJH Griffiths who hit 102 yards on the 9th at Seven Lakes.
Delving back into the Golfplan archives we believe that our longest hole-in-one was achieved by Mr Jack Wallace at Thurlestone GC back in April 2006 who found the cup from his tee shot on the 7th - a whopping 336 yards! Congratulations to you all and keep practicing that swing.
