Hole-in-Ones Just Shy of a Dozen at Lakeview in 2007

Here at Lakeview Golf Course during 2007 we had eleven hole-in-ones, two of them by Dave Strange. It was an amazing run of aces that started with Terry Padgett's ace on #9 on April 17th and concluded with Dave Strange's second of the year on September 18th. Of course, the year isn't quite over so we won't close the doors on the records yet. Do you remember that that run of aces included a span of six consecutive weeks with a hole-in-one? A seventh consecutive week was missed by twelve hours when D.J. Moffet put it in the hole from the tee box at #7 on Monday morning, July 2nd. That run was started on May 19th by Dave Wininger's unusual ace at par 4 #2, which was followed the following week by Bob Walton's equally unusual ace at the same hole. Aces by Becky Hand, Derek Gilbertson, Scott McAtee, and finally Judy Walker on June 22nd completed the run. At that point there were eight aces on the books for the year. Dave Strange, D.J. Harder, and Dave with his second of the year, make that second in a ten week period, brought the total to eleven. And did you wonder what the odds of all this happening might be? About.com gives us a little insight on such odds for a single golfer. One estimate: 12000 to 1 for an average golfer. I would say that Lakeview Golf Course golfers have beaten the odds this year, not once, not twice, but over and over and over again.
