A fact from Edward Chapman (actor) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 January 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that actor Edward Chapman, known for his role as "Mr. Grimsdale" in many Norman Wisdom films, tried to have Sir John Gielgud thrown out of Equity?

Scored a hole in one on same day as his namesake did the same at the same golf course.

On May 25, 1957, two men with the same name scored holes in one on the same golf course. Edward Chapman got a hole in one on the eighth hole at Richmond, Surrey in England. Later that day, Edward Chapman hit one from from the sixth tee. Cited in www.mindlesscrap.com

Unsure how to include this information. For what it's worth, the event sticks in my mind as I well recall seeing EC appear on TV explaining that he was talking to a stranger (in the bar?) who told him that Edward Chapman had holed in one. This resulted in a Harry Worth type of misunderstanding due to both events having been performed by two different men with the same name.
