FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Golfers Shoot Aces at Sanctuary Lake
(TROY,
MI)
– David Lyons and Paul Wasson didn’t know that they would capture every
golfer’s Holy Grail – a hole-in-one – when they teed off at the City of Troy’s
Sanctuary Lake Golf Course. Lyons, of Shelby Township, shot his first
hole-in-one on the ninth hole. He used a seven iron to ace the 148 yards. The 39-year-old
finished his nine-hold round of golf with a score of 46.
Wasson seized his first-time hole-in-one on the golf course’s 12th hole. The resident of Bloomfield Hills, age 37, used a six iron to rocket his golf ball past 188 yards and into the cup. He rounded out his 18-hole game with a score of 77.
