Some very good veteran golfers could play the sport for four decades and still not make an ace, but the latest "hole in one" in Wanganui golf comes from a Tawhero player in only her fourth year.
Sharon Murdoch took her driver out on the Par 3 seventh hole during the Tawhero club's medal competition on February 22, and using tips learned from her clubmates pulled a great swing towards the flag 137m away.
"I kind of hit it low, as I've been playing up at Belmont at the Thursday Business House [league]," she said.
"It turned and it just rolled gently to the hole.
"It was a bit of a shock."
