Fourteen-year-old Jordan Widdicombe equalled the course record playing in the first round of the Jamberoo Golf Club Junior Championships last Saturday.
Jordan's sizzling two-under-par 65 was the best championship score by anyone at the Jamberoo course since the record was set in April 2007.
Multiple club champion Adrian Gehrmann set and still holds the record.
Jordan is an Illawarra Academy of Sport scholarship holder and a talented tennis player.
Jordan's score was posted during a round that was also played as the club's Golf Mart Monthly Medal. It was also the third round of the Men's Championship.
In the A Grade Monthly Medal, Jordan's nett score of 57 beat his nearest adult rival, Tony Rodriguez, by six strokes.
The course record must be posted when the course is set in championship mode and played off the back tees.
Jordan has only been playing golf for a little over two years, but his dedication to the sport is obvious.
The diminutive Jamberoo teenager is often seen practising before and after school and at weekends.
"I am just so happy," Jordan said after sinking his putt on the 18th hole to equal the record.
His round included six birdies, a lot of straight hitting and some exemplary putting.
"Even I can't believe this," he exclaimed after holing a long downhill sliding putt for birdie on the sloping 13th green.
Lining up on the 18th tee, Jordan was three under and knew he just needed to par the hole to take the record.
A somewhat wayward tee shot and an unlucky bounce saw his ball in a hazard, and balanced unplayable on the lip of Hyams Creek.
Jordan, who has taken part in junior golf development programs, managed to keep his composure and coolly salvaged a bogey.
