“I hit it and thought it had enough oomph to get there. It went on a low trajectory, hit the ground in front of the bunker, bounced over the bunker, hit a dip and rolled towards the hole.
“I didn’t think very much of it — my eyesight is not as good as it should be — but one of the women in our group, Alayna Watene, said, ‘It’s gone in the hole’.
“I knew she had good eyesight because it was the last hole of our round and she had been good at spotting where our shots had landed.
“It was a reasonable sort of shot but not anything you would be thrilled to bits with, except it went in the hole.”
Fletcher’s first hole-in-one was at Te Puia Springs “six or seven years ago”.
“It was much the same sort of thing,” she said.
“It was just luck . . . it was the Christmas tournament there, too.”
