 ACE MAN -- Cowboy golfer Nathan Gage teed the golf ball up on the 155 yard sixth hole at the Marias Valley golf course last Tuesday, hit his shot with a seven iron and then watched as the ball disappeared into the cup for a golfer’s dream: a hole in one! It was his first ace and helped him to a score of 38 for the day. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
Using a seven iron, Gage’s tee shot found the cup for the golfer’s dream; a hole-in-one.
The shot helped Gage fire a 38 to place third in the nine-hole tourney. Lane Judisch tied for sixth with a 41.
Team scores and places to the Cowboys looked like this: Cut Bank 165, Sunburst 166, Shelby 171, Conrad 174, and Valier 198.
On the girls’ side, team scores and places went this way: Cut Bank 200, Conrad 212, Valier 219.
