The Seal Has Been Broken For 2023!
Congratulations to Jeff Hardesty for his Hole-in-One on Friday, May 12th while playing in the Friday Shootout (the longest-running, cash-paid, Friday afternoon sporting event in Dawson County.).
The details of the event as told to this reporter by Jeff himself, "6 iron from 160ish into a gentle zephyr. High, majestic fade that landed softly 7 feet left of the pin and rolled in like a putt." As a result of his Hole-in-One, and being a current member of the CGA Hole-in-One Club (H1C), Jeff receives $700 for his "majestic shot".
As a reminder to how the H1C works, it pays for any verified ace scored while playing at Chestatee during the calendar year. The entry fee is $30 for the H1C and it covers winning payouts for 3 Holes-in-One during the season. Once the third Hole-in-One is recorded during the season, then everybody re-antes another $30.
CONGRATULATIONS CZAR!
THE REACTION OF MAN WHO JUST WON $700
