Brennan's double ace at Rangatira

Marie Brennan was able to recall the logistics of her Hole in One at the Rangatira Golf Club last Wednesday very well.

A 12-year veteran who had followed her husband into the sport, incredibly it was Brennan's second ace on the 12th hole of the course - a Par 3 of 129m from the ladies tee.

If a Hole in One is extremely rare in a club golfer's career, then two on the same hole is the stuff of local legend.

Like last time, Brennan used a 7-iron on the 12th, as her ace rescued an average round to finish even par in the Ladies Bisque Par competition.

"It was a terrible round. It was the only decent shot I had all day," she said yesterday.

"I saw the ball go in last time, but this time I was too busy talking.

"I knew it was a good shot. Unfortunately, we were gas bagging."

As a straight approach, Brennan said the ball must have hit the green and bounced about twice - she and her partners headed up to the flag thinking the shot would have rolled over the back somewhere, until someone made the tell-tale check of the hole.

The ace was in fact Brennan's third Hole in One as she also had a magic stroke during a round at the Foxton course a few years before.

Her name will now go up on the Honours Board at the club house, and people will likely wonder in years to come if it is a misprint given the two entries will be identical.

"I'm going to be up there twice," Brennan said.

"[I hear it from] these men, especially the ones that don't have any.

"Some people are tinnier than others."

It was the sixth recorded ace in the wider Whanganui region for 2016.
