Akers collects on Hole-in-One Contest
Coming to the eighth hole at Morris Williams, Don Akers was hoping the jackpot was big just in case he made a hole-in-one. Well, the jackpot was big, $445 worth, and Akers collected it all at the recent ASGA Individual tournament held at MoWillie. Akers described his lucrative shot,"It was on #8 at MoWilly. I lasered the flag at 135 yards and hit a six iron. My head is still spinning!"
Witnesses to Akers super shot were Steve Ellis, Bill
LaTulipe and Steve Darby. Akers added that if the ASGA needed any more witnesses they could consult with the group on the #9 tee box. They were startled by the yell coming from Akers. "They heard my YAAAHOOOOO. I've been in every hole-in-one jackpot pool, but didn't really think I'd win one!', added Akers.
According to the Hole-in-One chairman, Travis Eckert, the new jackpot will start with the next tournament, the ASGA Championships. Members wishing to participate must once again submit their $5 and start the dream all over again. We are pretty sure that Don Akers will be the first in line.
