Tom DeHart Captures KP with Ace!

George Owens'  tee shot on #16 lipped out and disappeared behind the hole, 1/2 inch from an ace.  Two groups later comes Tom DeHart.  Tom knocks the ball in the hole and George's KP is gone.  Congratulations to Tom DeHart for making his second hole-in-one.  Tom's 4 iron shot from 178 yards on the 16th hole at Juniper was his second ace in 55 years of playing golf.  His first was just last year. Nice shot George but it's just not the same as an ace.  Congratulation to Tom DeHart!

After 38 years, An Ace for Lois Northrup!

Lois Northrup took advantage of her participation in the club championships by making her first hole-n-one in 38 years of playing golf.  Lois knocked her 7 iron shot  on #16 from 139 yards right into the hole.   The roar was heard across the golf course and at the clubhouse.  A diner asked, "What's going on out there?"   Gosh this golf stuff is exciting.

Bruce Sundseth Announces Hole-In-One!

Bruce Sundseth said he hit it in the head but the 9 iron shot went right into the hole on #3 for his third lifetime ace.  Bruce has been playing golf for 35 years and said he's now one ace ahead of son, Tim.   The 9 iron shot was holed from 146 yards.  Curt Peterson contests the "in the head"  remark.  Curt said, "It was a beautiful shot."  Congratulations to Bruce!

Peter O'Reilly takes KP with Hole in One!

Peter O'Reilly was concerned about getting the ball close on #13 as he and his wife have a KP contest on each par 3 hole.  Peter proceeds to knock his wedge shot into the cup for an ace (which proved to be the KP).  Peter's ace on the 118 yard hole is his fourth lifetime in his 25 year golfing career.  Congratulations to Peter!

Blue Tee Best Ever for Crose!

     Mark Crose escaped from the office long enough to get in a round of golf.  Taking advantage of the opportunity, not to mention the nice blue skies, Mark piled four birdies on top of two bogies to put together a best ever round of 70 from the blue tees.  Congratulations to Mark!

Steve Dietz sets new Course Record!

Steve Dietz  set a new course record from the blue tees on Sunday, April 27, 2008.  Just a week after the Spring aeration of the greens, Steve experienced no problems at all in rolling in 6 birdies and an eagle to shoot a 64 and lower the course record by a shot.  Steve said, "It is the first time I have ever had a bogey free round here."

 

Steve, a retired professional baseball player, is known for hitting the ball a long way.  He eagled the seventh hole after birdies on five and six.  Taking his 32 from the front side he birdied ten, twelve, thirteen and eighteen to finish off his great round.  No stranger to good scores, Steve won the club championship here at Juniper in 2005, our first year at the new course.  Congratulations to Steve!
