ALL THE GOLF NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT...AND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT THAT'S NOT

Hole-In-One Club

Given the number of new members to our group, I thought it would be a good idea to publish the current list of members in our informal Hole-in-One Club. As of this morning, my list reflects the following 31 hopefuls, pretenders, and wannabes who step up to every par 3 at LCCC in breathless anticipation that this may be their day:

Allen, Chris; Basey, Doug; Borek, Ted; Carter, Frank; Charnock, Sean; Dray, Bob; Edge, Cody; Ehlert, John; French, Diron; Dransfield, Bob; Gardner, Blewett; Hameline, Wes; Hardy, Charles; Haas, Jerry; Hollander, Gil; Holshevnikoff, Jeff; Jones, Craig; Lewis, Les; Lowry, Danny; Martin, Kameron; Milligan, Jim; Nolan, Joe; Rivas, Carlos; Stout, Buck; Unverzagt, Tim; Wagner, Tom; Wenning, Scott; Wilson, Todd; Withrow, Mike; Wolf, Jack; Yurich, Joe

For those of you unfamiliar with the HIOC, members agree to pay another member $100 for an ace recorded during an 18-hole round, with rules for said ace as follows:

1. Hole in one needs to happen when playing an 18-hole round 2. Can be from either white or blue tees 3. Does not have to be recorded at LCCC, but needs to be witnessed by another participant in the HIOC to be eligible.

In 2009, Mike Withrow and Sean Charnock found lightning in the proverbial bottle and the cash that accompanied their respective HIOs. If you'd like to be on the list, or would like your name removed, please send me an email to confirm your intentions, and I will publish an updated list in about a week.

For a rather unconventional ace, please enjoy the attached video provided by Jim Welch. It's but one of the reasons that many believe the Wednesday practice round to be the best way to experience The Masters. Next time you're between clubs on #4, it may be a shot worth considering....
