A couple of Holes in One highlighted the day at the New Hampshire Chapter of the New England PGA Pro Am at Stonebridge Country Club on Monday. The first came from amateur Carys Fennessy on the signature 6th hole. Playing out of Cochecho Country Club with PGA Professional Lucas Langelier, Fennessy swished her tee shot dead into the cup. A few hours later, PGA Professional Joel St. Laurent of Sky Meadow aced the 4th hole. It was the 8th ace of his career.
