 While recuperating in 1904, still at the sanatorium, he ventured along the lane which bisects the course to enjoy a round of golf.Here he experienced his only career hole-in-one, on what is now the sixth, a feat which no doubt contributed to the success of his convalescence.From the golf course the river travels a short distance due east and enters the village under Trunch Road close to its junction with High Street and Heath Road.
