Colbert was also playing alongside the unfortunate Sunday School member who fell into the lake while retrieving a ball on the 16th hole.
The player, who name will not be disclosed out of sympathy, was submerged and, according to a witness, took a couple of seconds before coming to the surface like a synchronised swimmer.
He was referred to as “the little mermaid” on the 19th.
Other impressive scores over the week were recorded by Brian Read, who broke 100 for the first time in over 50 rounds — 96 — to win the division 2 stableford on Saturday; and Mike Dodgshun, who won last Thursday’s division 1 men’s stableford with
41 points.

FUN was the overriding theme of the day at the Kowhai Cancer Trust fundraiser on Sunday.
The ambrose tournament featured a 50-strong field split into 10 teams, with many getting into the spirit of the occasion by dressing up in costume.
Ratbags were the overall winners on net 52, two strokes ahead of Mutuawa and The Shed.
But it was all about an enjoyable day out and, of course, raising money for the Kowhai trust — an initiative created nine years ago by breast cancer survivor Mavis Chaffey to raise money to help Ngati Porou Hauora patients and their families who travel with their loved ones for cancer treatment.
Te Puia Springs Golf Club’s famous hospitality was in abundance including what was described as “an amazing dinner” followed by prizegiving.
Organisers were grateful to all sponsors and those who took part.
Ratbags 52, Mutuawa 54, The Shed 54, Hiki’s Hackers 54, Green Team 57, Uawa & One 58, Goldie 59, Burmuda 60, Tiki Twice 62, Team Chris 62.

THREE birdies, three bogeys, the rest pars . . . that equated to even-par 72 off the stick for Rod Moore and victory in the men’s stableford on Sunday.
But it needed a countback to decide the winner, as Moore and club president Tony Leggett both racked up 40 points.
Moore’s effort followed his Tuesday veterans’ stableford win last week — 74-4-70, for 38 points.
Phil Nepia was third in the vets’ stableford with 36 points. It was a sign of things to come — 80-13-67, for 41 points, on Sunday, which won him the men’s stableford.
Patutahi member Jace Brown hit the city course on Sunday, highlighting his round with an eagle-2 on the 336-metre 15th hole on Sunday.
