WHAT a golfing year so far for Gary Carey, after having not just one, but three ‘hole-in-ones’ at Okehampton Golf Club this year, a remarkable achievement!

Many golfers find this rare occurrence eludes them throughout their lifetime, but not Gary, having achieved his first on March 16 this year on the seventh hole, his second on June 2 on the 15th hole and his third on August 2 on the seventh hole.

When asked about the remarkable events of this year Gary said: ‘I love being a member of Okehampton Golf Club, the course is great and the members are such a friendly bunch.

‘What makes the hole-in-ones even more pleasurable is that my golfing brother Lee has yet to get one!’
