On St. AndrewsCourse
The first hole*in*one Lex
Hamilton ever witnessed was
the thrill of a golfer’s life
line. *
It was a hole-in-one scored
by Hamilton and it came on
the old course at St. Andrews,
Scotland, one of the most
revered courses in the golf
world.
Hamilton, an executive
with> Torrington Co., had the
opportunity to play 8t. An
drews on Nev. 13 when he
* was in England, working
■ with a plant there.
On the eighth hole, Hamil
ton sank a long putt for a
birdie and he figured that
was one of his biggest golf
thrills.
Then he came to the 11th,
the only other par three on
the course. It is a 170-yard
hole. Hamilton hit a five-iron
and someone commented, “I
believe that’s the best shot.”
The^ba'll hit short of - the
green, rolled over a bunker
and then ran into the hole.
‘T.t^was almost as if the
ball*were being pulled by a
string,” said Hamilton, “We
could see the whole thing.”
Hamilton, who has been
playing golf for about 30
years said, “Not only was
that my first hole-in-one, it
was also the first hole-in-one
I’ve ever seen.”
At St. Andrews, each golf
er keeps his own score. Ham
ilton’s scorecard was certi
fied by his playing partners,
who were three other Tor
rington officials, and then was
sent to London to be regis
tered. After it was register
ed, Hamilton was entitled to
purchase a tie clasp and cuff
links signifying that he had
shot the hole-in-one.
Hamilton wound up with a
101 score for the old course.
usually shoot in the 90’s,”
he said “But St. Andrews is
a course. The rough is
refftfy rough. Crass along the
fairways is extremely heav
ing and deep. The fairways
have traps which may b«
eight feet deep. If you get in
one of these, you can’t hit to
ward the green, you have to
