50th year was the year of the HOLE IN ONE
Congratulations to,
- Steve Day ace on 149-yard #5 on Aug 10, 2012
- Laurel Wrye ace on 96-yard #7 on Aug 25, 2012
- Dan Kimple ace on 276-yard #15 on Aug 28, 2012
- Tristan Savell ace on 259-yard #4 on Sept 14, 2012
- In just past 35 days we have had 4 hole in ones! Our little 9 hole course historically gets one, maybe two a year.
- We had the first from a par 4 on Hole #6 from the back nine tee box by Dan Kimple. Then on hole #4, Tristan Savell kept the majestic 50th year going and hit a 259 yard hole in one! The 2nd hole in one on a par 4 in the 50year history of the Orcas Island Golf Course just 17 days after the first!!!
