IT has been claimed that Aldwark Manor may have a menace on their course.

A story filtered out that one accident prone golfer had had not just one stroke of bad luck but two.

Firstly, a tee shot from the men's tee hit the women's tee marker and rebounded back over the player's head to strike one of his playing colleagues.

Then it was claimed that the same player hit someone else with another shot.

A spokesman for the club said he had not heard the second part of the tale, but confirmed the first incident.

However, it was far from a laughing matter as the poor unfortunate who was hit required seven stitches in a facial wound.
