Wild weekend at Country Club

Sundance Country Club held their annual member/guest golf tournament Aug. 7-8. The tournament was a great success with 22 men’s teams and seven women’s teams competing in two separate divisions.

It was an awesome golfing event which turned into a very unusual weekend where two individuals made a hole in one. Dustin Materi made one on Sat., Aug. 7, which is an exceptional feat because that hole is a 358-yard par 4 and that is the only hole in one ever recorded on that hole.

On Sun., Aug. 8, Virgil Virchow got a hole in one on hole #3, which is a 160-yard par 3. The last time a hole in one was made at Sundance Country Club was in 2012, so for two to be made on the same weekend was amazing.
