HOLE IN ONE

Garrett Rogers didn’t roll a lucky seven, but his seven-iron proved to have the right magic in batting him a hole-in-one last week at Adams Municipal Golf Course.

Rogers used his heptade blade to launch the ball off the tee box 155 yards to the cup on No. 12.

Witnessing the neat feat were Zane Rogers, Matt Bourland and Cale Perdue.

AGE BUSTERS

Wendell Price and Ben Lewis each proved last week they’re not getting older — just better. Well, at least when it comes to golf.

The local seniors both shot better at Adams Golf Course than their age — Price, 73, conquered the course with 70, and Lewis, 87, carved out a strong showing at 86.
