2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2016 Hole-in-one could win new Mustang Can lightning strike twice in the same place? If it does, John Scott thinks that Saturday, Aug. 6, would be a good time. That’s when Rotary’s seventh annual Cool at the Coast golf tourna- ment will happen at Ocean Dunes Golf Links. Scott is a Rotarian and an avid golfer. He was the last per- son to hit a hole-in-one on the eighth hole at Ocean Dunes. That happened Sept. 15, 2015. The day was sunny, clear, and breezy, according to Scott. He hit a 5-iron off the tee, approximately 140 yards and right into the hole. “I had several reliable wit- nesses too,” Scott said. Hole No. 8 plays 150 yards straight downhill from a high tee with a panoramic view. It goes down steeply to a two- level green nestled in a charm- ing dell below. The green is well guarded on the left by a dry hazard and tall trees and on the right by a trio of bunkers. A hole-in-one here takes a combination of skill and luck. B E The hole in one prize is sponsored by Three Rivers Casino Resort, and the car is provided by Johnston Motors. Of course, 135 other golfers will be aiming for the same prize, and who knows what might happen? Cool at the Coast is nearly sold out. Only a few individual spots are still available, so any- one planning to play should register quickly. To register call 541-997- 3232. Premier sponsors of this year’s tournament include: Three Rivers Casino Resort, Ocean Dunes Golf Links, Coldwell Banker Coast Real Estate, Oregon Pacific Bank, PeaceHealth, Banner Bank and ServPro of West Eugene and Florence.
