If a young golfer gets a hole in one are they born to be on tour? Many say that getting a hole in one is purely based on one thing, luck. However some would say that getting a hole in one takes some sort of golf skill and if a young golfer possesses the coordination and ability to achieve such a great golf feat as young as nine years old then they most likely will be a talented golfer in the future.

Joshua Glossop is one of these young golfers who scored an ace at the young age of 13 at Rustington Golf Centre. Glossop was playing in the club Winter League tournament and is now the only junior golfer at the club to achieve a hole in one in an adult tournament. Joshua was able to share the exciting moment with his dad, who he was partnered with for the event. He now has the title of the first hole in one in the family (his father has not yet gotten one). Glossop plays on the team at Rustington as well as a school team. In addition to playing he also teaches even younger golfers under the age of ten!

The next young golfer actually holds a very high nickname at his club! Nine year old Taidgh Kinsella is known as “Tiger” around Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre where he nailed a hole in one during one of his lessons. Kinsella drove the ball 90 yards to the green on the par 3 and watched the ball roll in. Taidgh started playing the game because of his older brother’s influence and his professional teacher reported that he is “quite advanced” for his young age. Because of these two young boys age they were not able to perform the traditional celebration of buying a round of drinks at the club house however I’m sure they found many other ways to celebrate their special day!
