News Flash: O'Hara Scores Second Ace in a Tournament

Even before we're able to post the results of the July tournament, we've got some incredible news: Fred O'Hara, the former ASMC president, scored his second hole-in-one during an ASMC tournament!

Twice, now, Fred has knocked it in on No. 8, with an 8-iron -- in the June and July tournaments.

His pals are all breathing sighs of relief that he didn't do it in the Friday skins game with the $100 Rule in effect.
