S’pore boy, 6, gets hole-in-one at Mandai golf course, only started playing 8 months ago

Marcus and his two sons, Henry and Charlie, had taken to playing golf for some father-son bonding activity.

"It’s a great father-son bonding activity. I recommend it to all parents too, if they have the chance."

They've been hitting the green every week.

Day or night.

They’ve played a lot at Mandai Executive Golf Course as well.

All nine holes, although Marcus insists Henry does not have a favourite one yet.

Recent events, however, may have changed his mind slightly.

On Dec. 3, it was just another day on the greens for the father and son.

After an uneventful two rounds, they teed off at hole three.

Henry faced the 90m course, placed the red tee on the ground and squared up.

He swung better than even his father had expected, and the ball went flying. A great swing that led him near the hole on the three-par course.

A very respectable birdie, perhaps.

But as they were making their way to the ball, a gust of wind gave Henry just the push needed to get this.

Marcus told Mothership that they were ecstatic about the outcome and that he thinks Henry might be the youngest person to get a hole-in-one at the golf course.

When asked about a possible Henry Woods arc in the future, Marcus is not getting too far ahead of himself.

"Maybe no aspirations to be a pro golfer yet, just seeing it as a great family bonding moment while their mother can enjoy some time off."

Also very important.
