The Latest Holes-in-One, People Who Shot Their Age

New Mexico Golf News publishes a list of players who make holes in one on New Mexico golf courses, as well as recognizing older players who shoot their age.

To ensure accuracy, we publish information on each achievement we get it via email from someone associated with the golf course (bob@abcgolfclub.com, etc.)

Send us the name of the player, the date, the hole on the course, the yardage, the club used and whether it is the player’s first, second or fifth.

If there are any other unusual or pertinent facts you think we should know, send them along as well.

Send all submissions to dan@newmexicogolfnews.com and put ACE/AGE in the subject line.
