Maleny Golf Club Weekly Wrap

Golfers dream of scoring a hole in one, but imagine Amie Flanagan’s elation when she scored, not one but, two Aces during an Apex Charity Day event last Sunday at the Maleny Golf Club.

Having holed out on the Par 3 17th – a green most players struggle to even hold – Amie stepped onto the Tee of the even more difficult Par 3 1st hole just a few minutes later still buzzing and brimming with confidence.

“I’d jokingly said to the boys on my team, ‘Stuff it I’m gonna (sic) get another one’ as we were driving down to the 1st,” she chuckled. “I didn’t actually think it was going to happen, and we couldn’t believe it when my ball landed just in-front of the pin and rolled straight into the hole!”

The group’s screams of astonishment and jubilation could be heard from the clubhouse when what’s been estimated as a 67 million-to-one shot found the game of golf about two years ago during the pandemic.

However, she now has three Aces to her name, having already scored a hole-in-one in May this year.

Maleny Golf Club General Manager Stephen Porter said Amie’s golfing feat would go down in the club’s annals as a feat unlikely to be ever be repeated. “Not too long ago we had a husband and wife both score Aces during the same round, so you never know,” he quipped.

Mr Porter said Maleny was popular as a Charity Golf Day venue for service clubs like Apex which held the event to raise funds to support local athlete Kael Thompson in her pursuit to represent Australia at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.
