The win cemented the Johnson name on the perpetual trophy for the second time in a unique occurrence - Shane's father Kevin and his sister Michelle Beecroft won the championship in 1985.

It also gave the Mt Martha family it's newest golfing sensation in the form of 10-year-old Sheradyn who only took up golf earlier this year, her progress astounding golfers with years of experience.

"She's incredible and I couldn't be prouder of her," said Johnson, who turned pro in 1996 and is the pro at Safety Beach Golf Club.

"I mean she's just 10, but her performance - especially in the final - was nothing short of amazing. Her technique is fantastic and her whole approach to the game is very sound."

After helping out dad on the golf course and "hitting a few balls" over the years, Sheradyn decided she wanted to play seriously and set about whittling down her handicap.

Starting at 45, the determined Osborne Primary School grade 4 pupil enjoyed success in various club competitions before reaching her present current handicap of 32.

"I spend time with her, give her a tip here and there, but she's got such a great swing, and a natural ability," said Johnson

About 170-odd players took to the prestigious Metropolitan Golf Club for this year's Victorian foursomes championship, but the Johnson father-daughter combination quickly showed they were strong contenders.

"We scored 75.5 to qualify, won on the 19th hole in the first round, six up and five up in the next two rounds, then one up on the 18th in the fourth round."

Johnson said the pair finished two up on the 18th in the semi-final and took the competition convincingly finishing four up with three holes to go.

"I was just amazed at how well she [Sheradyn] did. I mean even to play six days in a row, and walk for about eight kilometres a day to play the full round was incredible."

Johnson, who has played the Australian pro am circuit for years and this year took out the Portsea Pro Am, said his daughter may well be a golfing prodigy but her future was entirely hers.

"We make her do other things but she's just got such a massive passion for golf and is a real natural so if she wants to make a career out of it, then that is up to her. Right now, she would play every day if she could."
