AN Okehampton golfer has received a limited-edition BOSS watch after scoring a hole-in-one during a recent competition at his club.

Gary Carey, 34, scored his ace on the 94-yard, par-three 12th at his club, Okehampton, and the 12-handicapper was rewarded with membership of the exclusive BOSS Watches H1 club and a specially-commissioned timepiece.

The luxury German brand has pledged to reward club golfers with an exclusive watch for every hole-in-one recorded during a club competition between April 15 and October 31 this year. And, with nearly 4,000 holes-in-one recorded annually, BOSS Watches could feasibly be giving away £1m-worth in 2013.

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.

Stephen Brydon, commercial director for MGS Distribution, the official licenced UK distributor for BOSS Watches, said: 'Congratulations to Gary on what, to most of us, is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.'
