Bigham sinks ace
The Cedars at Dungeness reported a hole-in-one on March 16 by a course member.
Rick Bigham made the hole-in-one at the temporary par 3 hole No. 9A from 118 yards out with his 8-iron. It was witnessed by playing partners Tony Imbarrato and Kevin Grau, and was Bigham’s second career hole-in-one.
