On Friday, May 21st, 18 members undertook a 9 hole putting contest on the Carolina Colours Golf Course practice green.  With holes ranging from 18 feet to 45 feet in length, and with a par of 18, scores ranged from 16 to 31.  Ken Kirkman had the only under par round to win, but the highlight was Jim Babich making a hole in one on number 9, a 45 foot putt with a severe break down and left at the hole.  Ken Gerhardt, Club manager, had promised a free drink to anyone holing that one out, and Jim took advantage.

On May 28th, on a very windy day, a difficult pitch shot contest was held, with the teeing ground behind the Pavilion, requiring a shot over the pond and to a very tough pin position on the 18th green.  The men faced a 97 yard shot, while the women hit from 72 yards.  The women dominated, with Chris Babich edging out Nancy Pilipow by an inch!  More balls went into the water, or over the green, than settled on the putting surface, leaving all golfers glad that this shot will not have to be repeated when the course opens for play in August.
