Golf notes: Of aces and events

Wayne Stillwell registered the first hole-in-one of the 2015 golf season.

Stillwell recently aced the 128-yard Mindbreaker No. 4 at Silver Lakes with an 8-iron.

The shot was witnessed by Jerry Cobb, Wayne Jackson and Ted
Waldrep.

No. 4 Mindbreaker is the popular spot for aces.

Hunter Watts, a 15-year-old in the Alexandria golf team, aced it today. It was his first.

The shot played 124 yards and he hit an 8-iron. It was witnessed by his dad, Stanley Watts.

The aces will now be permanent registered on the East Alabama Sports Today list of Aces In The Crowd.

There were 30 holes-in-one reported to East Alabama Sports Today last season, at least one from each of the eight courses that were open in Calhoun County. Cider Ridge Golf Club and Pine Hill Country Club each had seven.

Be sure to report your ace this season by contacting Al Muskewitz at musky@wrightmediacorp.com

DON’T FEAR THE FREEZE: The annual Deep Freeze Tournament at Silver Lakes is scheduled for Feb. 7. The event is a four-man scramble playing the Heartbreaker 9 and the Short Course backwards (9 to 1, not green to tee).

Entry fee is $55 per player ($25 for Trail Pass holders), which includes greens fees, range balls, awards, lunch and door prizes. There will be a closest to the pin contest. Mulligans also will be available.

Register at the Silver Lakes golf shop (892-3268) or by emailing Jason Callan (jcallan@rtjgolf.com), Brennan Clay (bclay@rtjgolf.com) or Jordan Evans (jevans@rtjgolf.com).

Tournament directors, to have your upcoming event listed in the East Alabama Sports Today schedule of events this season, contact Al Muskewitz at musky@wrightmediacorp.com. Our goal is to list every tournament scheduled for county courses – and then some – this season. This list is already underway.
