Blind golfer hits hole in one

A man has defied odds of more than 12,500 to one to become only the fourth blind golfer in history to hit a hole in one.

Gerry Kelly only realised what had happened after searching the green for the ball and being unable to find it. He told 5 live he was 鈥渢otally dumbfounded鈥 when it was eventually discovered in the 12th hole of the Montrose golf course.

Gerry, who only took up golf when he started going blind, relies on his wife, Mary, to help him line up shots on the golf course.
