He refused to accept the 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".  Mr Warner received £7,500 in an out-of-court settlement, but was ordered to pay his and the club's legal costs, amounting to £10,000 - leaving him £3,500 out of pocket.  The sales manager has now left the £750-a-year club and claims that up to 12 friends and family have also done so in protest over his treatment.  He said: "It has all been a bit of a nightmare. I got lucky and hit a hole in one, it's the first one I'd ever hit and I couldn't believe it when it landed on the green.  "I was elated to win the car, but it turned out to something altogether different to what they advertised. They put a high spec car on the tee which was worth £14,000 new but when I went to collect my prize the offered me a £6,500 1.0 basic model.  "It didn't have alloy wheels, air conditioning and was the most basic model. I was really disappointed. I was elated on the day and then I was devastated when I found out I wasn't going to have the car they'd advertised."  Mr Warner with the brand new five door 1.6TDi Vauxhall Corsa  Mr Warner said the debt forced him to remortgage his house to pay for his wedding to 25-year-old fiancée Kirsty Dolby.  He said: "I had to borrow some money to get ourselves out of debt. We had to take £10,000 out of the mortgage to pay for it. It was a worrying time and at one point it looked like we wouldn't be able to pay for our wedding.  "Thankfully it never came to that, but we had to waste a lot of the money we'd saved to pay for the wedding on legal bills."  Before the court case, Mr Warner tried to compromise with the club and asked for £8,000 plus a few years free membership with the club. But they rejected that and said it was only insured to offer a car up to the value of £8,000.  As no settlement between the two could be reached, it went to court and Mr Warner was told by a solicitor he had a "very good case". However, he said he lost the court battle because he had not seen the car before the tournament.  He added: "Our argument was that the car was on the tee, written the way that it was. There's no real hiding from that. We were forced to go to court. I was told I could not have had that car purely and simply because I didn't see it before I started the round."  Mr Warner lost his case on January 14 at Cambridge County Court. Immediately after the hearing, the club and its insurance company offered him a pre-registered Vauxhall Viva non air-conditioned car worth £8,300.  He rejected the car, but agreed in an out-of-court settlement to accept £7,500, which he used to pay his legal fees. This meant he had to find another £3,500 to cover all his legal costs.  Mr Warner was ordered to pay costs amounting to ?10,000  Haverhill Golf Club issued a statement which said they behaved entirely properly throughout and that Mr Warner's claim was bound to fail.  It read: "The club never disputed that Jake Warner had won a car and made a very generous offer to settle the matter which Jake chose to reject.  "The club behaved entirely properly throughout and were fully vindicated by the court's decision to throw out the claim. The club very much regrets that Jake chose to pursue a claim that had no merit and was bound to fail."  After losing the battle, Mr Warner has been left driving a 10-year-old Ford Focus Zetec worth £1,500.  • Tiger Woods is beaten at golf by an 11-year-old
