Those who golf (and some who don't) are aware of how difficult it is to score a hole-in-one. That means getting your ball in the hole in just one shot, as opposed to the usual three or four or five that is 'par' for a hole. It was exciting to watch young Anirban Lahiri, an Indian player do it yesterday at the ongoing British Open tournament. Seeing it happen is almost as rare as getting one yourself.
Incidentally, a lot of the usual stars are struggling in this tournament. They include Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, and Tiger Woods. Snedeker was leading when I watched, with a minus 10 (10 strokes less than total par so far in three rounds of 18 holes each), an amazing score in tough conditions.
Jeev Milkha Singh is also struggling here, though he just won the Scottish Open a couple of weeks ago. Well, golf is an accurate reflection of life. By the way, if any potential customers are reading this, Golftripz, a company run by friends who take Indian golfers out to play are organising in October, a golf tour to Thailand. You can look up their website, www.golftripz.com for more on that if you are interested. I may go too.
A postscript on this is that Ernie Els won while Scott, the overnight leader (it was not Snedeker, he lost the lead after day 2) self-destructed. Absorbing viewing.
