DATE	HOLE		DETAILS
10/05/2024	3	Omar Diaz	While playing the 3rd hole at 150 yards during a casual round, Omar grooved a 9-iron in the cup on the fly for his 4th career ace. Omar's ace was witnessed by co-workers and our own VP Brad Wilcox.
08/05/2024	17	Dave Chamberlain	Glaring into the sun and a steady breeze to the white pin, Dave made his first career Hole-in-One using a 6 iron. Dave was playing with brother Scott, nephew Mike and Member Nick Z. Both Scott and Dave hit quality shots but the sun prevented anyone to see the final resting places of either shot. A quick search revealed Scott's ball to be a little long and Dave's Bridgestone to be in the ultimate resting place, at the bottom of the cup.
