CLOSE CALL: Keith Slight, winner of last year's annual Wanganui Golf Club Closest to the Pin competition.
Hitting a hole-in-one is an adrenaline-rousing experience that all golfers aspire to. It is not age, gender, ethnicity or ability-specific.
But for most golfers holes-in-one are so close, yet so far away prompting the Wanganui Golf Club to host the annual Closest to the Pin competition.
From tomorrow through until
Sunday (March 2-5) entrants must land up to three balls within the circle on the chosen green to qualify.
Anyone can rock up to Belmont and pay a nominal entry and have a crack at winning some substantial prizes.
The format is for entrants to have as many turns as they see fit to pay for, and to try and get within a circle around the flag. Over the four days, all those who qualify - and you can only qualify three times - will go into the finals, which will be contested at 5.30pm on March 11.
