Golfer who won car with hole-in-one now thousands in debt after legal battle over prize

A golfer who won a car after hitting a hole-in-one during a charity event has been left thousands of pounds in debt after losing a bitter legal battle over his prize. br br Jake Warner, 24, was elated when he hit a 202-yard hole-in-one at Haverhill Golf Club, Suffolk, during the £10-a-head event. br br He even posed up for a quick snap with what he thought was his prize, a brand new five door 1.6TDi Vauxhall Corsa worth £14,000 adorned with the slogan: "Win this car if you get a hole-in-one." br br But when he went to collect the vehicle a few days later he was horrified to find that the golf club were offering him a basic £6,500 1.0 Corsa model instead. br br He refused to accept the inferior car, or £7,000 in cash and took the club to Cambridge County Court but lost his case in January due to what he claims was a 'legal loophole.' br br Jake was awarded £7,500 by the judge, but was ordered to pay his and the club's legal costing amounting to £10,000, leaving him £3,500 out of pocket.
