Fighting Snails conquer Hoopfest
Liberty Lake’s William Reese Jr., 10, scored a hole-in-one on the 67-yard seventh hole at Eagle Ridge Short Course in Spokane July 3. “I have been playing for 30 years and never even seen one,” William’s dad, William Reese Sr., said. The Splash’s sister publication, The Current, interviewed William about his accomplishment, which came during the first round of golf he had ever played. That story is on page 39 of the August Current, available for free at newsstands throughout Liberty Lake and the Spokane Valley or at issuu.com/valleycurrent. SUBMITTED PHOTO
