A MONMOUTH golfer timed scoring a hole-in-one right during a recent club competition as he received a limited-edition BOSS watch for his achievement. Brian Powell, 79, scored his ace on the 175-yard, par-three sixth at Monmouth Golf Course, and the 21-handicapper was rewarded with membership of the exclusive BOSS Watches H1 Club and a specially-commissioned, commemorative timepiece.

The luxury German brand reward club golfers with an exclusive watch for every hole-in-one recorded during a club competition.

The scheme is open to any golfer whose club uses HowDidiDo – a free-to-use, web-based social network for golfers – and anybody playing in official club competitions is eligible. Currently, more than 1,800 clubs use the website.

Stephen Brydon, commercial director for MGS Distribution, the official licensed UK distributor for BOSS Watches, said: "Congratulations to Brian on achieving golf's Holy Grail of a hole-in-one.

"The exclusive BOSS watch is available only to golfers who record a hole-in-one. It will provide a constant reminder of the achievement and also help to ensure they're never late for a tee-time again." No extra registration is required to participate in the BOSS Watches promotion as all official club competitions are recorded on the HowDidiDo system, so holes-in-one are noted and automatically ratified by the golfer's club.
