An elated Muszkieta used her seven iron to tee off on the 17th hole at Horsham Golf Club and watched the ball roll in for a hole-in-one.

“It was very exciting,” she said.

“It’s a par three and it’s a horrible par three – it’s got a sandy desert in front of it.

“I used my seven iron and got over it and we watched it roll to the hole and disappear.”

Muszkieta – who has been playing golf for three and a half years and plays twice a week – said she could not believe it.

“Usually I end up in the bunkers on the 17th,” she said.

The Horsham golfer said her hole-in-one ball would be mounted and her name would be engraved on a silver tray at the golf club.

“It doesn’t happen all that often,” she said.

“I’m the third person to have a hole-in-one since the fires. Everything was destroyed in the fires, so there’s a new silver tray.

"I was absolutely overwhelmed, I felt very special.”

Muszkieta joked the hole-in-one meant she would now have one-up on her husband Roger, who she said had been playing golf for about 25 years.
