On Saturday, Aug. 19, Ted Stewart aced Number 2. The way Stewart tells it, he stepped on the tee around 8 a.m., with his trusty seven iron in hand. He took a mighty swing, it was a high arcing shot headed towards the green. The ball landed about four feet past the hole and sucked back, coming to rest at the bottom of the cup. The fact of the matter is, According to his playing partners, Stewart couldn’t see a thing as the sun was shinning in his face and had no idea where the ball was. At any rate congratulations Ted, Well done.
