Two Okemo employees make holes-in-one

LUDLOW – On Thursday, Aug. 27, two Okemo Mountain Resort employees, both from Ludlow, Vt., made holes-in-one at Okemo Valley Golf Club.

Peter Cornish aced the 4th hole from the white tee, using his 5-iron, for a 156-yard hole-in-one. Donald Tirburzi witnessed the amazing feat.

Terry Thayne made a hole-in-one on the 17th hole. His 98-yard ace was made from the gold tee with a pitching wedge and witnessed by Paul Laporte and Jim Donnelly.

Both golfers will have their names engraved on a plaque that hangs inside the Okemo Valley Golf Club clubhouse to honor those who have had the experience of making a hole-in-one at OVGC.
