Hut it could have been. I ler ace on the 149-yard sev enth hole was her first hole-in-one. Chase started playing golf eight years ago. It happened midway through her round on the second day of the all Indian tournament, one of several she participates in during the summerfall season. Chase was having a tough round already when she reached the par-three hole. "I was frustrated already, so I thought, just go for the pin, and so I did, and I hit the ball," she said.

" Klya likes recess and Physical Education at school She also likes reading. One of her faivrite books is the first Libby Chase year-old Circling Raven offers challenges you might not often sec on the golf course. "It was over a ravine, and it was hard because it was among the pines, and in that ravine, the wind comes through," Chase said of No. 7. "You have to make sure you get it over to the green, because if it's lost there, scores, chip and putt contest, individual prizes for KP's, LP's, longest drive, and many other golf prizes.

The thing she likes most about school, said Kiya, is her teacher. Her parents art Kevin and Rene Rodin. Congratulations, Kiya! 1 they have a lot of environmen tally protected areas that you can't go into." And that's why she played the hole aggressively. "I saw it land, and I tried to watch and see where it was go ing to stop, because I knew it was going towards the pin. It went high and then came down, and I was watching where it hit," she said. "And, I thought, 'All right,' I'm closest to the pin." She thought that if she didn't place in the tournament, she could at least recoup some of her entry fee money. "I figured side-bets would be the only way I'd get my money back," she said. "I was thinking, 'If I could get a KP' (closcst-to-pin), that would be great."' But she couldn't find her ball after it touched down. "All of a sudden it disap peared," she said. "I didn't know at the museum's annual chili contest, held in conjunction with the golf tourney.

She asked one of her play ing partners: "I asked her, 'Where did my ball go.' I said, 'Do you think it went in,' just jokingly." The other player yelled down to the players at the next tee, asking if there were two balls near the green, as another player had also shot before Chase had. She then ran down to the green, crossing the road, and looked at the green, and more importandy, the cup. "She yelled back, 'It's in there! It's in there!" she said. "It was kind of shocking." Chase said she used a seven wood to make the shot. "I was having a time," she said. "Their par-threes are re ally challenging because of the wind factor.

She played the hole differ ently from the way she had it the day before. "I had tried a different club, and I pulled and hit it too far. I didn't even hit the green." Circling Raven, though, was Chase's favorite course even be fore Aug. 21. "I've played it pretty much since it opened," she said. "This year alone I've played there three times."
