Hole-in-one at the double

The two holes-in-one cost Felicity Sieghart £40 for drinks at the 19th

A 76-year-old golfer has beaten odds of 100 million to one to score two holes-in-one during the same round.

Felicity Sieghart is thought to have become the oldest golfer to achieve the feat.

Mrs Sieghart, of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, holed from the tee at the 134-yard eighth and 130-yard 17th during a club competition at Aldeburgh Golf Club.

But she still lost the competition.

"The holes-in-one ruined my concentration and my other shots weren't very good," said Mrs Sieghart, who has been playing the game since she was 12.

I was pretty fazed when I did it first time. When it happened again I just couldn't believe it Felicity Ann Sieghart

Mrs Sieghart, who ran the Aldeburgh cinema for eight years until retiring last year, said the shots had completely fazed her.

"I've never heard of anyone getting two holes in one before in the same round," she said.

"I was pretty fazed when I did it first time. When it happened again I just couldn't believe it."

Club officials said they could find no record of anyone of Mrs Sieghart's age achieving such a feat.

"From what we can discover this is more unusual than winning the lottery," said Ladies' Captain Eve Calvert.

'No fluke'

"Two holes in one during a round in a competition is incredible.

"We certainly think it is a record for somebody her age. I've never heard of it before."

Mrs Sieghart, who plays off 24, said she had once been a "pretty good golfer" with a handicap of seven, but was not so good now.

Her modesty was dismissed by the ladies' captain: "This was no fluke - these were two very good shots."

To mark the feat the club presented Mrs Sieghart with a bottle of champagne and will be adding it to a 119-year-old book in which all the outstanding achievements at the club are recorded.
