You won’t find any of last night’s wild Holey Moley action in a coach’s playbook, but that didn’t stop Michelle Cowan from taking out the top spot.
The AFLW West Coast Eagles assistant coach switched up sports and traded in her footy boots for a golf club, buts she absolutely dominated the course. That included by slaying the fiery new Dragon’s Breath hole – the one where they put you in something that looks like a spacesuit and then literally set you on fire – to slip on the Holey Moley plaid jacket at the end of the night.
Dubbed the “silent assassin” of the competition, Michelle is now one putt closer to a life-changing shot at $100,000 on Greg Norman‘s top-secret Grand Final hole, the Tomb of Nefer-Tee-Tee.
“I’m a competitive beast. I love to win. With years of coaching, I know what it takes to be successful,” said Michelle who has adopted a steadfast “plan to perform” mindset heading into the Grand Final.
Michelle’s victory came after defeating Jason during a 6-foot putt-off in the final round.
Dragon’s Breath wasn’t the only new hole we got to see in action last night – there was also the slightly less threatening but also fire-themed Parbeque. One at a time, golfers had to putt to a green across an enormous barbeque, then navigate a rotating prawn, corn, and sausage. Falling in the coals below earned the golfer a stroke penalty.
One putter, Simon, shot the ball straight over the rotisserie chicken and nearly got a hole in one. In an attempt to get over to the other side himself, he launched himself at the corn but ultimately ended up in the coals.
Coming up Sunday night on Holey Moley, eight single mini golfers looking for romance will set putters aflutter. The single golfers will turn heads and fall head-over-heels, but will they choose love over the plaid jacket? Plus, two brand new holes, the electrifying Frankenputt and colourful Clowning Around, will be ready to test the skills of our lovelorn golfers.
Holey Moley airs 7.00pm Sunday, 7.30pm Monday and Tuesday on Channel 7 and 7plus
