A golfer’s dream
AFTER 35 years of playing the sport, Mareeba golfer Charlie Bewick achieved the ultimate in club level golf by scoring his first ever hole-in-one.

The miraculous feat came about on the 143m Hole 8 at the Mareeba Golf Club during a Far North Queensland Veteran Golfers Association (FNQVGA) tournament recently.
With his trusty Callaway Stealth graphite shafted 8 iron, Charlie, a keen tactician, landed the shot just short, it bounced up onto the green, released and rolled into the cup.
His fellow players said that once it bounced it never looked like it was going to miss.
Charlie told his friends that he hadn’t been that excited since he scored the winning try for his Kuranda team to win the Reserve Grade Eacham Rugby League grand final in 1978.
