Hole – in – one for Amber Rivera on  EN #17

On July 14, 2016, PCLGA member Amber Rivera had a hole-in-one on Eagle’s Nest No. 17 while golfing with her husband Reuben.

Erv Stein For a few years now, our PCM9GA has held Summer Sizzler events late in the summer dog-days and this August 25 event was certainly not by any means a Fizzler and surely met everyone’s expectations for starters. The tournament format, which was a normal Scramble format, was somewhat initially suspect since of all…
