IT was sweetness and flight for Dean Bramley, who aced himself into the history books of York's British Sugar Golfing Society.

Bramley achieved his first hole in one - and the first in the Sugar society's eight-year history - with a one-shot feat at the par-three, 123-yards sixth hole at Leeds Golf Club. Bramley's weapon of choice for his ace was a sand-iron.

Another hole in one star was Richard Burton, a 21-handicapper at Fulford. He holed in one at the 146-yard tenth with a seven wood.

Ken finds he's in seventh heaven

Ken Potter belied his 28 handicap when he scored a hole-in-one on the seventh hole at Forest Park Golf Club, in Stockton-on-the-Forest.

His seven iron to the 127-yard par three took one bounce and popped straight into the hole during a round a week ago.

Ken, of Whitby Avenue, York, said: "I did have to stump up at the bar but there was only eight in there, so I got off quite lightly!"

Winners of mixed scramble

Best gross

Former York champion Jamie Miller had the best gross score of two-under-par 70 - but as he plays off plus two he finished joint 12th in Fulford GC's April medal won by J P Wake with a 66.
