WA golf superstar Hannah Green was the headline act at the 2026 Perron Institute Hole-in-One Day at Wembley Golf Course.
The Major-winner was back in Perth for some rest and relaxation ahead of two Asian-based LPGA Tour events and was happy to throw her support behind the annual charity spectacular.
The par-three 18th hole of Wembley GC’s Tuart Course was the scene of the action, where 46 everyday golfers and a host of sporting celebrities each had a single attempt to score an ace and win the $500,000 jackpot!
The 46 finalists earned their shot at glory after finding one of the golden golf balls randomly placed into the driving range hopper at Wembley GC throughout September and October.
And while making an ace was always going to be a tall order – especially with the pin tucked on the back tier of the long and narrow of the Tuart Course’s 18th green – there was also a nearest-the-pin prize of $2500 to keep things interesting.
Amongst the sports celebs in attendance were AFLW Eagles duo Georgie Cleaver and Amy Franklin; tour golfer Abbie Teasdale; Perth Wildcats basketballer Dylan Windler and Olympic tennis doubles gold medallist John Peers; while popular local content creators Ron Chopper (AKA Matt Heath) and Joel Innes also had a crack.

Although the $500k ace proved elusive, plucky teenage amateur Noah Keren (Nedlands GC) walked away with a cheque for $2500 after securing nearest-the-pin honours with a superb effort that finished 2.75m from the hole.
His effort even outshone Hannah Green, who, with the final shot of the day, landed her effort a creditable 5.45m from the pin.
The annual hole-in-one challenge raises money for Telethon, with proceeds going towards youth mental health research at the Perron Institute.
