Fred Chapman aced the 127-metre par-three fifth at Howlong Golf Resort on Tuesday, adding to his previous five at Thurgoona Country Club Resort.
The 73-year-old was thrilled with the shot.
“It was into a slight breeze and I hit a nine wood,” he said.
“I gave it a little draw and it landed on the green, it ran about 10 or 15 feet and went straight in the hole.
“The good thing about Thurgoona is I’ve had one on every par three (second, sixth, 12th and 16th), including two on the sixth.
“Some of them were 170, 180 metres, there’s no short ones at Thurgoona.

“I think this one meant a bit more, it was pretty special because my wife was playing with me.”
He was also a member at Wodonga and Bandiana.
Chapman currently has a handicap of 27.
