On Sunday, 11 year old Todd Yaxley achieved what most golfers never manage - he scored a hole-in-one.
The shot to remember for a lifetime occurred on the fifth hole at Renner Park Golf, Oropi.
It came as a big surprise for Todd's father, Gary, who says his son has played golf for about one year.

"He's just a hacker like me," says Gary. "He was absolutely thrilled to get the hole-in-one."
The hole is a drop shot par three - 119m from the men's tee, and 61m from the ladies tee, with the green 20-30 feet below the tee blocks.
Gary says Todd was uncertain how to approach the tricky hole from the men's tee using his driver.
"He was telling me 'what if I hit it too hard, what if I hit it too soft," says Gary.
"He hit it and it landed on the green and just rolled and rolled and went into the hole."
Todd was playing with his aunty Sue.
The people behind him saw it and the people in front also witnessed Todd's hole-in-one.
