Thirteen months later, on the 13th hole, Castlecliff Golf Club's Neil Forlong sunk the second hole in one of his playing career on Thursday.
And there are further numbers that come into play.
The 13th hole is the same one that the Castlecliff club used for the big spot prize at their annual Yellow Ball tournament on Sunday, whereby sinking an ace at that time would have won a car valued at $15,000.
The same thing happened in 2019, when four days after the tournament he played in, club veteran Tom Johns also sunk a hole in one on the 13th.
But car or no car, Forlong was not about to look a gift horse in the mouth during the club's Summer Ambrose tournament.
