3-MENDOUS; Darren in record books with back to back eagles.


Byline: EUAN McLEAN

DOLLAR golfer Darren Hulston reckons he has set a world record after finishing a round with THREE consecutive eagles to equal his own course record of 57.

Hulston, who plays off plus four, sealed his remarkable 12-under-par round during a club medal at Dollar Golf Club by covering the last five holes in just 12 shots.

A search through the British Golf Museum's archives has found no evidence of three closing eagles in a competition.

And the 34-year-old, who has never considered turning pro, followed up his stunning success by bagging his first hole-in-one a month later.

That incredible story makes the Clackmannanshire builder a clear winner of this week's Where Eagles Dare.

And he picks up a Nicklaus Dual Point DrawBack DRAWBACK, com. law.

Delighted Darren said: "I wasn't actually playing that great before the eagles and was only six under. So they really came out of the blue. People reckon it's the best finish ever but I was just as pleased weeks later when I got my first hole-in-one.

"My shot left such a dent in the hole I spent 10 minutes trying to repair it before the greenkeeper noticed."

Darren can now look forward to a VIP weekend at the Fairmont St Andrews for October's grand final.

There are still places up for grabs so if you score an eagle or better in a competition get your scorecard signed by a club official.
