March HIOs, Eagle Shooters, and Age Shooters

Didn’t see any Hole In Ones for March? Well that’s because there wasn’t any!

March Eagle Shooters

Shout out to Wayne Bodamer for marking down an Eagle 3 on Hole #16 on March 10th. Good for you buddy and we hope you have a bunch more in the bag.

Yong Kook Song—When this gentleman isn’t making Hole In Ones he just goes out and knocks down eagles. Young Kook Song recorded his Eagle 3 on March 23rd on Hole #16 as well. I have a feeling we are going to see Young in the paper many more times to come.

Hats off to Cannen Shaw! Cannen had an Eagle 3 on Hole #2 on March 26. He hit driver from a pushed back 4 tee placement, hitting a high fade, carrying the right hand fairway bunkers, landing on the bottom of the hill right hand side of the cart path. he then hit an easy 195 club with a high draw pin high to the left. The putt was about 15 feet with a bumpy roll, diving into the cup. Easy Peezy!

(I remember when I was on that green in 2, once. That was back when they had the tee boxes way up for the sand trap project. I digressed, my sincerest apologies.) Congratulations Cannen! You’re a stud and we are sure you will be doing this again real soon!

Age Shooters for March? A big fat noooooo….
