Scots schoolboy becomes one of the youngest golfers to ever sink a hole-in-one

Many golfers go through their entire lives without ever getting a hole-in-one – but six-year-old Callander Golf Club member Harris Inglis has already achieved the sport’s hardest feat.

Beaming dad Webster said: “I’m so proud of Harris.

“He first took an interest in golf when he was two-years-old. He loves golf and loves being part of the junior section at Callander.
