Despite all the odds - gale force winds, intermitent wind, jet lag, and tough Irish links play - Alan Farnsworth nailed a hole-in-one on the first day of the inaugural Great Irish Links Challenge in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland. His prize? An all-expense paid trip to visit Christophe Harbour. Mr. Farnsworth was one of only 2 people to even drive the green on #9 that day, so his hole-in-one was the topic of discussion that evening. This year marked the first for the three-course challenge, and the event was a smashing success with nearly 250 golfers from around the world. Christophe Harbour was the proud sponsor of the opening reception and the hole-in-one prize. Next year's event is planned for May 13-16, 2011.
