Don Brown, Mike Dixon,
Dick Miles |
Some of "The Quarter Boys," a group of golfers who regularly play
with and against each other at Cherokee National Golf & Recreation
Club, left the course Wednesday, March 18, with a significant — if
not unequaled — accomplishment.
Three members of that prestigious group recorded holes-in-one on
the same hole.
The par-3 17th, playing Wednesday from a distance of about 150
yards with a right pin location, was the scene of the trifecta.
A
total of 19 "Quarter Boys"
 showed up for Wednesday's round of
better-ball play. The group usually is made up of senior members but
all members and their guests are invited to play. The stakes are not
high — thus the group's name — but the competition is intense.
The triple aces began with Mike Dixon, 65, who used a Hogan
6-iron to record his second career hole-in-one.
oments later, Don Brown, 72, holed out with a Ping I5 7- iron.
It was his third career ace.
The third hole-in-one of the day on No. 17 came off a Cleveland
4-iron struck by Dick Miles, 70, the second ace of his career.
