You probably heard about Ken Tanigawa’s hole-in-one during the second round of the Rogers Charity Classic, but the eventual tournament champion wasn’t the only sharpshooter to celebrate an ace this past week at Canyon Meadows. Cindy Chan, a volunteer hole captain and Rogers employee, made short work of No. 14 during Monday’s Blakes Women’s Day, draining a nifty nine-iron from 103 yards away.
During Wednesday’s pro-am, Matt Stevens wowed his group — including PGA Tour Champions pro Kirk Triplett — with an ace on No. 9. Sheila May’s mother, Rhea Terre, was celebrating her 93rd birthday and had a simple request for her daughter — ‘Go get a hole in one for me today!’ Sheila did exactly that, breezing through the third hole on Glencoe’s Bridges Nine.
She cranked an awesome eight-iron over two sand-traps and hit the flag-stick from 80 yards out for her third career ‘1.’ Luc Rivard completed his personal hole-in-one hat-trick, sinking a sweet seven-iron on the 142-yard sixth assignment at Winston. It has been a special stretch for this family: Barry Schlacter made aces in back-to-back weeks and then was beaming with pride as he witnessed his son, Caleb, notch one of his own on the eighth at Redwood Meadows.
Caleb was precise with a pitching wedge from a distance of 125 yards. Don Mills had this to say after his first career hole-in-one — “Took 60 years, but it meant the world.” Mills was one-and-done on No.
11 at Lakeside, smoothing a seven-iron fro.
