Milestones

2008 Chardonnay Yr End Event Joanne Segovia got a hole in one on January 12.  She used a 6 hybrid at the 92 yard par 3 (she would normally use a 8 or 9 iron, but she hasn't played much lately.  Her husband was on hand to witness the spectacular event.

Teri Crosby broke 100 for the first time!  She played Hiddenbrooke on January 10 and shot 99.

Congratulations Joanne and Teri!
