Villager gets first hole-in-one after 50 years of playing golf

Slim Adkison

Slim Adkison of the Village of Mallory Square got a hole-in-one Thursday, Dec. 28 while golfing at the Sandhill Executive Golf Course.

It was his first hole-in-one after 50 years of golfing.

He scored the ace on Hole #3  with a 9 iron,  at 140 yards.

Slim recently purchased a new set of Pings. His wife LiZa, told him to get the best money can buy, because when he passes on, she didn’t want any riff-raff coming to buy them

Way to end the year Slim!
