Australian TV and radio personality Andy Lee says his “cheeks are hurting from smiling too much” after hitting a hole in one at Tara Iti golf course in Mangawhai.<\/p>\n

Lee, who is one half of Australia\u2019s famous Hamish and Andy duo, shot the hole in one on the 272m par-four 13th hole and shared his accomplishment to Instagram.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old said his partner Rebecca Harding “even pretended to be excited for me when I called her”.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the comedian has pulled off an impressive sporting achievement in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Lee made a miraculous catch<\/a> in the Black Clash T20 in Napier, which got rid of the dangerous Jordie Barrett.<\/p>\n

As Barrett tried to launch Grant Elliott into the stands for his third six of the innings, Lee managed to haul in the catch, getting rid of Team Rugby\u2019s danger man.<\/p>\n

Tara Iti is an exclusive members-only golf club which has hosted many celebrities since opening in 2015.<\/p>\n

Word of Tara Iti even made it to US President Donald Trump earlier this year when Prime Minister Christopher Luxon invited him to play a round at the club during an informal meeting<\/a> at the APEC summit. <\/p>\n
