It’s a little while ago but a feat certainly still worthy of a mention.
In October 2001 Brin McGeorge (1948-49) shot not one but two holes-in-one at the Cromer Golf Club in Sydney. And better still, his aces were back to back.
The 27 handicapper joined an elite membership of players to have had consecutive holes-in-one in the same round. The first known double was by the legendary professional Norman von Nida at the Blackheath Golf Club in New South Wales in 1939 where he aced a par 3 then a par 4.
John Hutchin, an English professional emulated the feat in England in 1971, while Sue Prell remains the only woman to have scored consecutive holes-in-one which she recorded at Sydney’s Chatswood Golf Club in 1977.
Six months later Brin, a former New Zealand epee and foil fencing champion, added a 3rd hole-in-one.
