Patrick Shell was on the greens with his dad Grant when he sunk the ball first go.

"It was a pretty exciting moment," Grant told Today.

"I think I screamed louder than Jimmy Barnes would at one of his concerts - it was great to capture it on video as well. So, yes, it was just a great moment for both Patrick and I."

Patrick has been practicing golf since he was little and now has a trainer at Northcote Golf Course in Thornbury.

"We try and get out there once a week, he is enjoying it," Grant said.

"We are just social golfers, we just like getting out, breathing the fresh air and hitting the golf ball."
