A hole-in-one for two; same day, but on courses far apart

FALLBROOK − On exactly the same Tuesday, April 19, two Fallbrook lady golfers scored a hole-in-one − on separate courses − far from their Fallbrook homes.

Linda Davenport of the Fallbook Niners had traveled with her husband and the Fallbrook Senior Men’s Group to Pismo Beach, and shot her miracle hole at Monarch Dunes, Nipoma, on hole number 7, using a 7-iron to drive 87 yards.

Dolly Harty of the Fallbrook 18-Hole Ladies group had traveled to Borrego Springs Resort for the group’s spa outing and getaway. She used a 6-Hybrid club to shoot 110 yards. She gives credit to the Nike ball she found at the Golf Club of California where she recently shot her best score of 90.

For both ladies, this was the second hole-in-one in their golfing careers. Even more coincidentally, they both scored their aces this time on the sixth hole they played in shotgun tournaments.

Congratulations were received from the San Diego County Women’s Golf Association at a recent meeting of delegates. Both Falbrook golfers are looking forward to returning to the Fallbrook Golf Course with their respective clubs as soon as it is hopefully restored by a new owner.
