Hole In One

David Cohen Aces Hole Number 4 at MountainView

Alan Doan

Dec. 30 was a once-in-a-decade kind of day for David Cohen. During a MountainView-Preserve Men’s Golf Association event, David put his tee shot in the cup on the par-3 fourth hole at MountainView.

David used a 4-hybrid to launch the shot to a difficult pin placement 150 yards away.

The other players in his foursome were Angelo Klousiadis, Rick Fernandez, and Scott Brewbaker. Angelo was the only one to see the ball go into the hole.

This was David’s third hole-in-one. He has now scored an ace in each of the past three decades. Congratulations, David. Try not to wait until 2030 to get that next one.

Steve Schmidt Aces SDB Hole #2

Wow! A fourth hole-in-one in SaddleBrooke!

On Jan. 15, Steve Schmidt shot his fourth hole-in-one on the SaddleBrooke course, hole  number 2. It was a beautiful, high, straight-at-the-stick shot. It hit behind the flag and drew back, right into the hole! A sand wedge was the club of choice.

So, Happy New Year! Or as the Irish say, Bhliain Nua Shona!

Sláinte!
