Amazing! Three more hole-in-ones and all on the second hole! This brings the total to six so far this season!
Congratulations to Arnold Gauchier Sr., who recorded his Aug. 19. Arnold was golfing with two of his sons, Jesse Gauchier and Ryan Gauchier, and with Lance Gauchier. Their cheers could be heard almost to town!
Maeng-Je Yoon was golfing with Mike Mungall Aug. 26 when she got hers. Maeng-Je is our first female to record a hole-in-one since 2005.
Only one day later, Aug. 27, second time out this season, Warren Billard, scored his ace. He was golfing with his two sons, Zac and Jake, at the time.
Does this mean we will see you out here a little more often now?

Only a golfer would understand this!
A husband and wife are on the ninth green when suddenly she collapses from a heart attack.
“Help me, dear,” she groans to her husband. The husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks up his putter and lines up his putt. His wife raises her head off the green and stares at him.
“I’m dying here and you’re putting?” she says.
“Don’t worry dear,” says the husband calmly. “They found a doctor on the second hole and he’s coming to help you.”
“Well, how long will it take for him to get here?” she asks feebly.
“No time at all,” says her husband. “Everybody’s already agreed to let him play through.”
