Names make news, and despite the cooler weather there is plenty of golf being played in Bucks County as reports are coming in from Makefield Highlands, the Golf Association of Philadelphia and the Nomads Golf Association.

 

Makefield Highlands was the site of a pair of perfect shots in the last week, as Bob Liberatore and Chris Walsh scored aces at the Lower Makefield club.

 

Both scored hole-in-one shots on the par-3, 179-yard 14th hole. Liberatore used a 4-hybrid for his perfect shot, while Walsh used a 4 iron. Their ace moved the area needle of perfect shots to more than 40 in 2010 (see The Ace Report in the "local golfers" section of this site).

Russ Elkan was captain of the 1975 and 1975 Pennsbury High School golf team. A stellar competitor, he won the 1976 Pennsyvania Interscholastic Athletic Association District One Championship.

 

\But that isn't his biggest scholastic claim to fame.

 

Elkan captured a trophy than only three other Bucks County golfers have managed to secure: a PIAA State Championship.

Okay, pop question. When you run into Brandon Walker, don't ask him about his hole-in-one at The Bucks Club.

 

He's just answer: "Which one?"
