Angels Camp, CA…Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort Men’s Club Member Dan Lippstreu scored a HOLE IN ONE!! Dan, known affectionately by his friends as “Lipper” drained his Tee Shot, Monday, February 15th on hole #3 using a 5 iron from 143 yards. Lipper told his playing partners, “I’m teeing the ball up to hit a high shot, so when the ball hits the green it will land softly.” It did just that and rolled into the hole!

Dan, a retired PGA Professional played college golf at Chico State, and went on to be the Head PGA Professional at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore for 35 years.

Congratulations Lipper! We all enjoyed the drinks!!!
