Lt. Chadford C. Conway scored the first hole-in-one in the seven year history of the BHOD Golf Course last Friday, when he sank his tee shot on the 145 yard, par 3, first hole. Conway used a seven iron, the ball hittling about five yards in front of the green and rolling straight on in. The feat was witnessed by the other members of his foursome, F. Begert, C. Cannon, and L. Funk; and Conway was presented with the scorecard, duly signed and notarized, as a hedge against any future coubting-Thomases.
