Golfers card pair of aces
Stags' Bodjack, Lakers' Novak notch holes-in-one
FROM STAFF REPORTS
SUTTONS BAY — Two players sank aces on the same hole to steal the spotlight from first-place Suttons Bay in Wednesday's Suttons Bay Northwest Conference Golf Jamboree.
Kingsley's John Bodjack carded a hole-in-one on the 139-yard 15th hole at the Leelanau Club. Glen Lake's Austin Novak followed with an ace on the same hole.
Bodjack used a 7-iron and finished with a nine-hole 46, Novak used a 8-iron and shot 47.
"I've been coaching 10 years and I don't even remember one hole-in-one in a Northwest match, let alone two," said Suttons Bay coach Todd Hursey. "That's pretty amazing."
The host Norsemen won with a team score of 159. Kingsley was second (193), Mesick third (196), Manton fourth (226) and Frankfort fifth (242). Glen Lake didn't have enough players to qualify as a team.
