NICKY Owen has achieved every golfer's dream shot - a hole-in-one . . . at the tender age of 10.

The youngster, who plays off a handicap of 26, achieved the ultimate shot on the par three 154-yard second hole at Caldy Golf Club, of which he is a member.

Nicky hit a five iron, the ball hitting the flag before dropping in. He and his playing partner, 13-year-old Chris Thomas, ran up to the green to find the ball in the hole.

Afterwards, in true golfing tradition, Nicky treated everyone to drinks - lemonade, of course - all round in the clubhouse!
