A RHOOSE golfer recently scored a hole-in-one during a club competition and was rewarded with a limited-edition BOSS watch.
Trevor Graham, 56, scored his ace with a seven-iron on the 176-yard, par-three seventh at his club, St Athan GC, and the five-handicapper was rewarded with membership of the exclusive BOSS Watches H1 Club and a specially-commissioned, commemorative timepiece.
The luxury German brand has pledged to reward club golfers with an exclusive watch for every hole-in-one recorded during club competition in 2014 after giving away £600,000 worth of mementos in 2013.
The scheme is open to any golfer whose club uses HowDidiDo, a free-to-use, web-based social network for golfers, and anybody playing in official club competitions is eligible.
Stephen Brydon, commercial director for MGS Distribution, the official licensed UK distributor for BOSS Watches, said: “Congratulations to Trevor on achieving golf’s Holy Grail of a hole-in-one.
“To the majority of amateur golfers, recording a hole-in-one will be the most memorable thing they achieve in golf – a once-in-a-lifetime experience probably – and we want to ensure they have much better memories than merely a dent in their bank balance after buying drinks in the clubhouse.
“The exclusive BOSS watch is available only to golfers who record a hole-in-one. It will provide a constant reminder of the achievement and also help to ensure they’re never late for a tee-time again.
“We also hope it might add a frisson of extra excitement to club competitions for golfers who may not be in with a chance of winning the event, for they know that every time they stand on the tee on a par-three, they are just one shot away from winning a stunning timepiece.”
No extra registration is required to participate in the BOSS Watches promotion as all official club competitions are recorded on the HowDidiDo system, so holes-in-one are noted and automatically ratified by the golfer’s club.
