LANG LANG GOLF

It’s not very often at a local golf club that a player gets photographed hitting golf’s holy grail…a hole-in-one.

But it happened to Lang Lang Golf Club member Daniel Huysmans on Saturday, who has several witnesses and photographic evidence of his amazing shot to add to his bragging rights.

Congratulations Daniel on your hole-in-one on the fifth hole at Lang Lang Golf Club on Saturday.

While no-one matched the thrill and exhilaration of Daniel’s shot on the weekend, there was still some fantastic golf played with some great scores being carded in the ideal conditions.
