Hole-In-One Club On July 17th, Tommy Thomas aced #17 from 185 yards using a 5-iron. Jimmy McDonnell witnessed the shot. Well done, Tommy!

Shoot Your Age Shooting your age is one of the great accomplishments in the game of golf, right along side the hole-in-one. On June 28th, John St. George shot a 74, which is 3 shots under his age. Way to go, John! On July 10th, Dick Reeves shot an 86, which is right on the number. Dick had to make 3 ten footers on his last 3 holes to shoot an 86. Congratulations, Dick!

SHEPHERD’S

O riginally an English dish,

Shepherd’s Pie is

traditionally made with

lamb or mutton. Americans typically

make Shepherd's Pie with beef.

Here is a basic recipe for a simple

ground beef Shepherd's Pie. The

great thing about this dish is it’s so

delicious that you can mess it up

and it will still leave you feeling as if

you’re in heaven!

INGREDIENTS

4-5 cups mashed potatoes

half onion chopped 2 lbs ground beef

2 1/2 tbls beef base 1/2 cup water

1 cup cream of mushroom soup 4 tbls flour

1cup cheddar cheese

METHOD

Brown beef and onions in skillet. Drain then add soup and flour. Reduce at high heat for five minutes. Transfer to 2 qt. Pyrex dish. Cover with potatoes and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes. Serve with your favorite veggies.
