There are certain holes in a golf course where you don’t even need a putter. At least that was the case in two holes for 64-year-old retiree Ruth Day.

Nigerian twin swing doctors give up practice

Unusual golf-related story time, this one coming from Kaduna in Nigeria. The African country is hardly the centre of the golfing world.
