Last Wednesday the 16 marker not only became the latest Griffith golfer to become a part of the exclusive hole-in-club, he did so in a way that had never been seen before.

Having only played periodically in the past few months due to shoulder and knee surgery, and playing mid-week due to being made redundant from his job just a few days before, Langman had no idea his round would feature a historic shot.

Not only did he score an ace, the fact it was on the 280m par four 15th hole means he is the first person to score an albatross at the Griffith Club.

Playing a four person ambrose competition, Langman knew it was a good shot when he made contact but said he did not realise he had created history when he approached the green, despite having cut the corner of the dog-leg right and avoided being bogged down in the moguls before the green.

"We could actually see it clear the trees so I knew I made it over and I knew it was very much in line with the green and I saw the ball land through the trees," Langman said.

"We were looking all around the green and on the next tee and the three guys were on the mogul looking, and I was walking back across the green and I looked in the hole and there it was.

"When I saw it I said 'fellas you might want to come have a look at this'."

In a shot that was shades of Happy Gilmore more than Scott Langman, the local player joined a very exclusive group with only one hole-in-one on a par four recorded on the PGA, when Andrew McGee scored an ace on the 17th at TPC Scotsdale in 2001.

It was lucky Langman had playing partners at the time to witness the historical event, otherwise people might question whether he is joking when telling the tale of his monster drive.

"I remember when we got back to the clubhouse Peter Sinca told Neil (Bye club professional) this guy had a great day he got a hole-in-one, Neil asked on what hole and when Peter told him which one he had to ask about three times because he couldn't believe it," he said.

The lucky player will have a place made for him on the club's honours boards, but don't expect another name to be added alongside Langman's for a long time.
