Golf partners celebrate a hole-in-one double

Golfing partners Michael Simms and Ken Daniels have beaten odds of at least a million-to-one to each hit a hole-in-one, one after the other.

The feat, known as a "double ace", took place on the 93 yard (85m) second hole at Castell Coch golf club near Cardiff.

They were the first hole-in-ones either player had achieved. "We're available for the Ryder Cup," said Mr Simms.



Mr Simms, 44, a plant buyer at a garden centre, scored his hole-in-one first with a nine iron.

"I made it easy for Ken really - he just followed my line."

"Thankfully there is no bar at Castell Coch so we couldn't follow the golfer's tradition of buying everyone a drink if you score a hole-in-one!"
