Lucky 13th
Congratulations to Ross Millar, treasurer of the Launceston Veterans group.
Swinging a six-iron on the 13th hole on Monday, Millar knocked the ball in the hole.
However, neither Millar nor his playing partners saw the ball enter the hole. A sweet surprise was forthcoming when the group decided to look in the hole as an afterthought.
