Canberra Raider Jordan Rapana's hole in one

The Canberra Raiders winger had his first ever hole in one in his first competition round since coming out of life under the tough Apollo protocols.

Rapana's season only ended in the preliminary final on Friday, when the Melbourne Storm knocked the Green Machine out of the NRL finals race, but he hasn't taken any time to get back into the swing of things.

Playing comp at Federal Golf Club on Wednesday, the Kiwi international nailed the Holy Grail of golf on the par-three eighth hole - sending his tee shot over the water in front of the tee box and putting it in the hole 170 metres away..

He filmed his walk up to collect the ball and posted it to social media to ensure everyone would believe him - although he did have his three playing partners as witnesses.

"I've got to film it. Otherwise people won't believe me," Rapana said in his Instagram story.

The 31-year-old is in the process of finalising a two-year contract extension to remain in lime green as he also awaits the arrival of his first child.

He finished the season struggling with a sternum injury he aggravated in the semi-final win over the Sydney Roosters and playing in the unfamiliar position of centre.

The Raiders are now enjoying their off-season before returning for pre-season training on December 7.

At this stage, the Canberra club is preparing for at least some of the Apollo protocols to be in place.

They weren't allowed to visit family or friends, eat at restaurants or cafes - or even play golf.
