Playing the final hole on the par 9 course, following a factory visit by the Aldeburgh greenkeeping team, his tee shot bounced once on the green before nestling in the cup, placed awkwardly at the back of the green.

"I was absolutely amazed and stunned," Craig said. "I knew it had a chance when I hit it, but the third green is so small, virtually surrounded by water and on the day the pin was well to the back, so stopping the ball was very difficult; you just have to ask my colleagues who all put a few in the lake!"

Following Craig's remarkable achievement, Ransomes Jacobsen had a commemorative trophy made and Richard Comely, the company's Director of Marketing and Product Management, made the short journey to Aldeburgh to present with the memento.
