A YOUNG golfer is celebrating success after winning a tournament and getting a hole-in-one.
Stuart Bainbridge beat 16 of his work mates from 3M, Newton Aycliffe, in a competition on Friday.
The event, which was held at Blackwell Grange Golf Club in Darlington, was held in memory of work colleague Viv Cotton.
Stuart, 22, of Farndale Gardens, Shildon, then went to Bishop Auckland Golf Club the following day where he played the perfect shot - a hole in one.
Stuart, who has been playing golf since he was ten-years-old, played a 200 yard drive on the 12th hole.
He said: "I was really pleased to win the Viv Cotton Memorial Trophy but to get the hole-in-one was the icing on the cake.
"I was really surprised. It was a good shot.''
Stuart is pictured left at the 12th hole, where he played his perfect shot.
