Excitement and exhilaration reverberated through Benalla Golf Club recently when popular player Meredith Badrock scored a hole in one at the eighth.
No one was more amazed than Meredith, who modestly claims the feat was 10% skill and 90% luck. This remark is heavily disputed by Meredith’s fellow players who have watched her handicap drop nine strokes in the last 18 months, from 19 in October 22 to 10 in April 2024.
Meredith admits that since joining Benalla Golf Club in 2019, golf has become her obsession. She is frequently to be found at the driving range or out on the course perfecting her skills. As well as being a talented golfer, Meredith has written a book, using a 16-month Covid enforced break from golf to write about ten years spent on Flinders Island.
The date of Meredith’s hole-in-one is easy for her to remember. It happened on February 29th in a Leap Year. Congratulations Meredith and we hope to see many more!
