John Anthony Hudson (born 26 August 1945) is an English professional golfer.
Born in Wokingham, Berkshire, he turned professional in 1964, and was a European Tour member in 1971, 1974, and 1976.
Although relatively little-known, Hudson – then 25 years old, and club professional at Hendon – achieved fame during the second round of the 1971 Martini International tournament, held at the Royal Norwich Golf Club. Teeing off, using a 4-iron, at the par-three, 195-yard 11th hole, Hudson holed his tee shot for a hole-in-one. At the next hole, the downhill 311-yard, par-four 12th, and this time using a driver, he once again holed his tee shot, for another ace. This is believed to be the only time a player has scored holes-in-one at consecutive holes in a major professional tournament.[1] [2] [3] [4] Hudson eventually finished tied for ninth place in this tournament, and earned £160, out of a total prize fund of £7,000, for his efforts.
Hudson played on the European Seniors Tour from 1995 to 2000, and is now the professional at Rivenhall Oaks Golf Centre in Witham, Essex.
