  • Bruce Lupton: (4)
    One with us at Auburn Hills last August, and one this May at Draper Valley
    (This is my note from May) I played in the New River Valley Shrine Club Tournament at Draper today. On Hole #7, 175 yds, par 3, Hole Prize was a 2008 Buick Lucerne, Value $28,000. Guess what. I hit the sweetest 6 iron you ever saw and won the darn thing. You would not believe how excited Dennis Ritter was first of all. Of course I was a mess, but Dennis said Mr. Harvey has been trying to give one away in this tournament for 15 years. Well, he did today. I pick it up on Monday. It'll cost me about 7Ks for the taxes at the end of the year, but what the heck. Where can you get a new car for 7 grand. Yippee.....Two Hole-In-Ones in the past 13 months. Who would believe it.....
