Not content with taking five-shot overall win in A-grade, Horsnell also helped himself to a hole-in-one from the 13^th tee.

It’d been a while between drinks for the veteran after a few masterstrokes during his Adelaide playing days but no one was going to stop him on what he deemed “a very good day”.

“I wasn’t quite sure that I’d hit it well enough or if I’d maybe hit it too far, so I didn’t want to get my hopes up,” Horsnell said of the shot.

“Sometimes you can get a bit excited and I didn’t want the disappointment.

“But my mate was convinced it had dropped in and, sure enough, when I walked over and looked in the hole, my ball was in there, two marks and all.”

The 64-year-old used a six-iron on the par-three 138m hole and said that while he’d been lucky before with hitting the flag, this particular shot felt good “straight away”.

“I got it to hold up in the wind a little bit so that helped,” Horsnell said.
