Hole-in-One For Walker
Congratulations to Dave Walker of the Latecomers who earned his first ever ace on Wednesday night.
Using a 56-degree wedge, he sank his tee shot on the 102 yard 5th hole.
Joining Walker was his team-mate Don Muldoon and from the Hackers, Mick Berridge and Don St.Denis.
It's the second hole-in-one for a member of our league in as many weeks and everyone will be wanting to golf with Don as he was also witness to that one.
Way to go Dave!

Adams Aces Eighteen
Congratulations to Mark Adams of the Hackers who recorded his second career hole-in-one.
Adams used a seven iron on the 18th hole from the white tees. The hole was hidden from view on the tee and after searching for his ball he finally looked in the cup and was thrilled to find it nestled in the bottom of the cup.
Also golfing in the group and witnessing the ace were Don St.Denis, Lyle Williams and Mark Kennedy.
As a bonus, the 18th hole was also one of the Closest to the Pin holes for the night.

Stormy Weather Advice
This has been an unusually stormy start to the golf season and when we head out on the course, safety should be our first concern.
According to the USGA there are some things to remember when the bad weather approaches.
AVOID
- Solitary Trees
- Small rain or sun shelters
- Large open areas
- Wet areas
- Elevated areas
- All metal objects including: golf clubs, golf carts, fences, electrical and maintenance machinery and power lines
SEEK
- Large permanent building
- Fully enclosed metal vehicle: car, truck or van
- Lowest elevation areas
If sudden, close-in lightning does not permit evacuation to a safer place, crouch into a baseball catchers type position with feet together and hands on knees.
Any player has the right to stop play if they think lightning threatens them or they feel unsafe even if no signal from the clubhouse has sounded. Safety first.

Tiger Being Tiger
Whether you love him or hate him....or just hate how much the announcers talk about him, you can't deny the talent Tiger Woods has when it comes to golf.
He has a flare for the dramatics and Round 3 of the 2008 U.S. Open was no exception.
Here now are a few of his highlights on the back nine on Saturday.

18 Holes For Three Weeks
Hey guys, just a reminder to everyone that starting tonight June 11th we will have three straight weeks of playing 18 holes instead of the usual nine.
While some of you might think the start time will change, that isn't the case. We will be teeing off at the usual 6:00pm tee time and the round should last about 3 hours.
Don't forget your bug spray to ward off the mosquitoes and black flies.
