Wednesday, June 26, 2019, Jim Cox, + $337.50
Saturday, May 25, 2019, This is directly from the horse’s mouth; “Short Par 3, Hole 7, San Ignacio Golf Club, 112 yards, gap wedge. Particulars: Coming off 3 triple bogies, a lucky par, a quad, and a double bogey, I had nothing to lose but relax and let the club do the work. Made a perfect pass at the ball. The ball soared way up in the air. Landed 3 inches right of the cup and with a sloping left to right green, the ball took a tiny hop and jumped right in(to) the hole.” Way to go Rusty!
Wednesday, June 26, 2019, Rookie, Jim Cox, joined the VGA on June 20 and struck gold on the 26th of June. He hit a seven-iron on the 152-yard par-three eleventh hole for his first ace. Jim wrote “ I hit the shot perfectly flush and knew it was going to be a good shot, little did I know how good though. The ball landed about a foot past the hole and rolled back into the hole.” Way to go Jim!
