If you're ever going to dunk a golf shot in for a one, you might as well do it when a free car is on the line.

Allan Errington of Aberdeen, Scotland made a hole-in-one during a round of golf that can best be described in the headline of the story, rubbish.

Mr Errington, originally from Peterlee, County Durham, said: "It's quite embarrassing. I have only played golf about 15 times, my clubs are pretty basic - and I had to borrow a putter."

I'm pretty sure I can speak from all the uno-less golfers around the world when I say, sigh. This guy has played maybe 15 rounds of golf in his life and he makes a hole-in-one after making 7 on his first six holes? Are you kidding me?

Normal golfers stand on the tee thinking about wind direction, the slope of the tee, distance, pin position, the smart place to miss, previous experiences, a full swing or soft, and all the other crazy things that make golf an insane sport.

Errington's thought process was this.

"I had hit seven on each hole until the 7th, then a six and an eight, so was still averaging seven.

"I got to the 9th and said I may as well use my seven iron as everything else was seven."

Yep, his "seven iron because of all the 7s" theory was an exact science, and the ace landed him a Volkswagen Golf for his effort, which he said he was giving to his father.

The best part of the entire story is Errington lost all 23 other golf balls he had in his bag that day. He's that precise.
