Mike Sobremonte, playing in the Select Shot Tournament held Tuesday at Jimmy Clay, hit his wedge 101 yards to the #2 green and scored a Hole-In-One. It was the first hole-in-one for Sobremonte and he was ecstatic when asked about it. "My first hole-in-one after fifty years of playing this game" said Sobremonte. Sobremente described the shot, "It was a high shot that hit in front of the hole and with one bounce it went in the hole."The HIO will proved to be more than an exciting happening for Sobremonte as he will pick up a cool $425 from the pot which he had joined with the ASGA.
Although this was a happy occasion for Sobremonte as we all congratulate him, it means that the rest of us will have to come up with an extra $5.00 at the Lion's tournament this next Tuesday to get in the next HIO pot. A sign-up station will be at or near the tournament desk at Lions for those of us who would like to have the same feeling as Sobremente on Tuesday.
