As soon as golf clubs around the Highlands reopened, one teenager showed the rest of us how it is done.
Playing at Aigas Golf Course near Beauly, Cammy Macmillan (19), a novice player who has not lifted a club since last August, got a hole in one on one of the course's most challenging holes last Sunday.
Cammy, from Kiltarlity, said it was all down to good luck. The self-employed grounds worker said: "I haven't lifted a golf club since last August, and I was out after the restrictions were lifted with my step-dad Si and my brother Ronan.
"I thought at first I had lost the ball, but it was a hole in one. I could hardly believe it.
"It was just good luck, the only credit I can really take is for hitting the golf ball in the first place.
"I have only been playing golf for about a year. I took it up to help me relax, and I really enjoy it."
Alice Masheter, from Aigas Golf Course, said: "The risk of driving across the Beauly River on our sixth hole paid off for Cammy.
"He’s only been playing for a year and thought he had lost a ball after this cracking drive – only to discover it was a hole in one!
"The hole is notoriously difficult and there are two ways to play it – over the river or around. So many people drive into the river that I have even been out to dive for golf balls.
"I can't remember anyone ever getting a hole in one on this hole, and if they have, they have not told us about it."
