Hole -in -one
shot very rare
Stu Homuth indicates a hole -in -one under the number 12 pin
at Ironwood Golf Club.
Local golfer gets a hole -in -one on a
par four green at Ironwood Golf Club
Chris Skalkos T -A staff
EXETER - Some would say last
Tuesday's rain and windy weather
made it a had day to golf. Others
will say using a driver to tee -off on
a narrow par four is a bad choice.
But for Stu Homuth it couldn't
have been a better combination.
Last Tuesday night, Homuth got
a hole -in -one on a par four at Iron-
wood Golf Club, and no one is
more surprised than Homuth.
"A hole in one on a par four is
sort of flukie. You don't usually
aim for it," said Homuth.
The extraordinary shot occurred
on the number 12 hole on the back
nine greens during a habitual mens
Tuesday night outing. The foul
weather sent many golfers home,
but Homuth andAi few friends, Ke-
vin Mcarter, Dae Holtzmann and
club owner Gib Dow braved the
elements and played on.
Homuth used a driver to send the
ball 301 yards down on to the green
before losing sight of it.
"It was a good shot and it was
playing right," said Homuth who
knew right away he got an ex-
cellent shot off. "It was a long draw
that headed toward the tree -line and
curved back in," he said.
Homuth was little surprised by
the well executed swing con-
sidering the circumstances. The
field was wet, there was a brisk
crosswind blowing and "a bunch of
guys heckling in the background."
The group of golfers searched for
Homuth's ball but couldn't find it
anywhere on the green. They
scoured through the trees assuming
it took a wild bounce back well be-
hind the hole.
Golfer Dave Holtzmann sug-
gested they pull the pin, "but he
was just joking," said Homuth. "We
pulled the pin and there it was."
"It takes a long time to sink in,"
he said about the incredible dis-
covery. "The other guys were just
standing around going'ahhhh'."
Gib Dow, owner of Ironwood
Golf club said a shot like that is
very rare on a par four, especially
on the number 12 hole because it's
one of the newer and more chal-
lenging additions to the golf course.
"It's tradition that the guy who
gets the hole -in -one is responsible
for some fellowship," Dow said
addigg the group went to celebrate
in the club house where they "re-
played the shot many times."

Imperials
return from
Mitchell
Tournament
MITCHELL - The Exeter Chrys-
ler Imperials Junior Fastball Club
played four games at a Mitchell
tournament on the weekend compil-
ing one win and three tosses.
The tournament pitted the Imperi-
als against some of the best junior
teams in Ontario.
They opened against Shake-
speare, the first placed team in the
Ontario Junior Men's League, and
lost 8-0. Jeremy Mason and Chris
Kennedy shared the pitching duties.
In the second game, the Imperials
exploded with seven first inning
runs defeating Moorefield 8-5.
Steve Cook pitched five innings for
the win with Jeremy Mason picking
up the save.
On Saturday night, Darryl Ford
and Chris Kennedy teamed up on
the pitcher's mound but couldn't
help the outcome as the Imperials
lost to a strong squad from Tara 9-
2.
On Sunday Exeter lost to Mitch-
ell 4-0. Jamie Ramer, with a walk
and a single, and Sean McCann
with a single were the most suc-
cessful against winning pitcher
Dennis Gower. Steve Cook went
the distance on the mound for Exet-
er allowing four hits, walking four
and striking out nine batters.
Thursday nights home game
against Stratford was postponed
due to weather. The Imperials will
play at home Thursday night at
9:00 pm against Moorefield.

als won a decisive game over the
visiting Albanians 3-2 Sunday

found its way past goalie Craig
Winbows and they didn't waste any
Centennials 3-2 win

tecting their lead and eventually
