How to unlock the Golden Ferret achievement in The Golf Club 2019 - Definitive Guide
I found Monte Cervino - Hole #1 to be an easy and consistent way to get this achievement. Make sure you're using Beginner Clubs (under Home -> Edit Golfer, but if you haven't changed your clubs then you already have this set). Then set up a local match as follows:
Monte Cervino
Red Tees
Wind - None
Start off by changing to your Driver and just hit a regular full power shot without changing your aim. For your second shot you should automatically be assigned the Gap Wedge. Press and adjust your aim to be the center of the bunker to the left of the green. Again hit a regular full power shot. The ball should land in the bunker and stick and give you a 60-70%ish lie. Press until your shot type changes to Chip, then change clubs to a 9 iron. Press to aim and aim just a couple taps of to the left, then hit a regular full power shot. If everything goes according to plan the ball will land on the green and roll right into the hole. If it doesn't go in, just quit and start another local match, change the wind to None, and try again, making any adjustments you may need depending on if the ball rolled left or right of the hole on your last attempt. Since it's the first hole you can be attempting it again within another minute or two. Only took me about 3 attempts to get one to go in.

Thanks Erod, got it on my 3rd try as well!

Great solution! Just like to add that if you miss the shot, you will likely be just past the hole. On your next shot, you should be facing the same bunker you just shot from. Switch to a 'Flop' shot with your Pitching Wedge, send it back in the middle of the bunker, and try another shot! Personally, I got this with a Chip shot using the Sand Wedge with a few clicks to the left.

The best advice for doing this is to play a course with shallow bunkers and to use a chip instead of a flop. There's no need to use the sandwedge, use a club that gets you to the hole just as long as it clears the edge. Before the shot, use LT and try to adjust aim. If the ball is above your feet, the ball will start to the left of where you aim and right if it's below.
