Quilliam achieved the feat, which is a club record, over 44 years playing at Snake Valley Golf Course.
“It’s something that I’ve got that I don’t think anybody would knock off in a long time,” she said.
“You just go out and play and if it happens it happens.”
Quilliam’s passion for golf was ignited after attending a footballers’ day with her husband.
“We came up and played a bit of golf and I got hooked on it,” she said.
“It was just the social part of it and the fun of having it in Snake Valley, we have a beautiful course here.”
Some of Quilliam’s highlights at the club, where she still plays twice a week, have been getting her first hole in one in 1987 and being made a life member in 2016.
“It was a very proud moment, just as good as 25 years of championships,” she said.
Club secretary Joy Boland said Quilliam was a well respected member of the club, who was always ready to step up in the absence of the captain or president.
She said Quilliam’s feat indicated her talent as a golfer.
