ACES this week

Getting an ace on a downhill Par- 3 must be the cat’s meow because you can watch it all the way. That was the case for Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd. CEO Chris Bloomer last Thursday night at Carnmoney Golf Club.

He watched as his dialed- in smooth 8- iron landed three feet behind the pin and spun back down the slope into the hole at the 150- yard 17th. Pretty sweet. Other recent aces ...
