Another ace for SACC star

Marianne Towersey played target golf at its ultimate precision

Tuesday on the 11th hole at Santa Ana Country Club.

For the fifth time in her career and third on the same hole,

Towersey carded a hole in one.

A 19-time Santa Ana CC women’s club champion , Towersey used an

eight-iron on the 125-yard par-three 11th hole.

“It bounced once in front of the hole and went in,” said Towersey,

playing in a ladies day event with Margaret Darnell, Ann Hirschman,

Tracy Larson and Lin Stafford.

“I told the group, ‘[I have a feeling someone will have a hole in

one [Tuesday],’ ” Towersey recalled. “I wish I would have saved it

for the Tea Cup.”

Towersey started on the back nine Tuesday, opening with a birdie

on 10 before the eagle at 11. She shot a 34 on the back and a 42 on

the front.

Towersey will compete in Tea Cup Classic VII on Friday at 1:30

p.m. at Mesa Verde Country Club. The public is welcome to gallery.
