Parker Mk 2 or Just Another Hoax

Rumour has it, that the indomitable Parker Crockart has a challenger for the "lets see how far out we can Putt from" title. It has been reported that one Mike O'Toole was spotted going to the driving range armed with only a putter, and when questioned, merely tapped his nose and smiled. A singular sighting of Mike approaching the 18th reports that from at least 75 yards out, the trusty stick got the airing the range practice had hoped for, drilling the back of the hole in fine fashion.

Now, here at the blog, we are not so sure, as we reckon the "supergrass" may not yet have moved over to decimilastion and that he actually meant to say 7.5 feet, so we look to you the reader to verify, whether Cloning has arrived in Strathmore with a new Parker, or whether a good story is getting in the way of the truth.

Having experienced the sight of the 'Parker Putt' on many occasions and having been privy to watching Mike 'Four' O'Toole playing, I am sure that the phrase 'lovechild' is more apt than cloning when describing the 'new kid on the block'.
Facts: Same colour of hair,
Same amount of hair,
Same style of hair,
Same putting style,
same putting length.
Yes the original distance of 75ft was excessive but I'm sure if the greenside bunkers were not between him and the hole, then 'Baby Crocket' may well have taken the putter. Keep watching this space.
