Golfing five year old hits hole-in-one

Five year-old girl Eleanor Gamble is seeking entry into the Guinness Book of Records for a remarkable feat she pulled off during a golf tournament.

Gamble sank a hole-in-one on an 86-yard hole, which required a drive over a lake and avoiding bunkers, during a Juniors tournament at Cambridge Lakes Golf Course last week.

The youngster - playing in the tournament with her brother Jacob - nailed it with only one bounce of the ball. Now her father David has said the family were trying to get her name in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest female hole-in-one golfer after discovering that the record is held by an eight year old from America.
