Killian Has
Hole-ln-One
At Sapphire
A hole-in-one is the thrill of
a lifetime for every golfer,
and Rev. Harold Killian had
such a thrill Tuesday morning.
He made the spectacular
shot on hole No. 3 on the beau
tiful links of Sapphire Valley.
Using a 4 iron, Mr. Killian
hit the gTeen just in front of
the hole. The ball ducked out
of sight and the foursome
thought it went out of sight
because of the dip in the green.
However, they found that it
was a perfect hole-in-one since
the path of the ball was very
visable on the dew-laden green.
Playing with Mr. Killian,
who is pastor of the First Bap
tist church here, were Rev.
Charles Reichard, pastor of the
Brevard Methodkt church,
Rev. Ben Ormand, Presbyter
ian minister, and L. C. Poor.
This was Mr. Killian’s first
hole-in-one in 17 years of golf.
