1960 Don Malouin aced the 400-yard, par fourth eighth hole

at the Chemawa Golf Club when he cut his drive over the right dogleg and it dropped in the hole for the only hole-in-one of his career and the first ever accomplished at the eighth hole, but it was not enough as Cumberland’s Dave Adamonis stopped Malouin, two-up, to advance to the semifinals of the club’s championship tourney. Adamonis went on to defeat Mike McLellan, 3 and 2, in the semifinal match. Adamonis registered six birdies and an eagle in playing two under par for the 34 holes of the two matches and hit 28 of the 34 greens in regulation.
