Once, in a single afternoon at the Irish seaside course Lahimich, four people made holes in one on the blind par 3, 155-yard fifth, a practical mathematical impossibility. Yes, a blind par 3. You aim at a white rock that is in line with the pin and pray. And so, it was on the famous day of the four aces that the Lahinch bar was as busy as Times Square on New Year's Eve. They say you could barely get your last free Jameson before somebody offered you another. Word had gotten around town and the bar was packed with locals. Then, through the front door, came the bartender's wife, holding the ear of her freckled, redheaded seven-year-old son. She marched him up to the bartender and yelled into his ear: "Have you any idea what your rascal son did this fine day?" The bartender, who was trying to fill 100 drink orders at once, said without looking up, "What," the boy looked at his mother, who nodded. The boy said, "I was putting golf balls into the hole." The bartender pulled his head back, stared at the sheepish boy, then again at his angry wife, all the while filling pints with Guinness. "Well," she yelled, still holding her son's ear, "are ya not gonna do sum'tin about it?" "Yes," the bartender said. Then he swept the kid up in his arms, kissed him on the forehead, and yelled, "Good lad." From the Vice President, Bob Morriss: On June 25 we had a Four Seasons Golf Tournament with the Four Seasons in Murietta and Beaumont. We had nine foursomes (36 players). Murietta had three foursomes and Beaumont had two foursomes. Our Club had four groups. First place was won by Bob Morriss' team with Wayne Odle, Mike Eoff, and Bob Leveque. Second place was Larry Becker's team with Meredith Becker, Ron Smith and Molly Smith. Third place was Mike Caldwell's team with Wayne Stump, Dave Mann and Javier Parada. Fourth place was held down by the Four Seasons Murrietta team, led by Anthony Debiase. The other Four Seasons Hemet players were Susan Gaites, Dave Weakly, Tom Grove, and Gary Vosberg. The next intra-Four Seasons tournament will be hosted by the Murietta Four Seasons later in the year.

From the Handicap Chair, Debbie James: What is a golf handicap? It is a measure of the player's current ability through a round of golf signified by a number, the lower the number the better the golfer is. The handicap signifies how many strokes above or below par a golfer should be able to play.
