Golfer's nightmare

A Taiwanese golfer lost his memory after hitting a hole-in-one.

Wang, 50, was playing golf with friends at a course in Xinzu city when it happened. "The ball flew and dropped directly into the hole, which is a standard three-par hole," said one of his friends.

Wang was initially overjoyed - but when his friends picked up the ball and came to congratulate him they found him muttering on a hill and asking: "Why am I here?"

He was sent to the hospital immediately and doctors diagnosed him as suffering a blackout or temporary memory loss. After a couple of hours of rest, Wang's memory was pieced together again, but his golfing success was still missing.

When Wang revisited the doctor a week later, he still didn't remember the hole-in-one, reports Taiwan News.
