Donna Gottsch aced the 90-yard second hole July 17 on the Par 3 Course at Cragun's Legacy Courses during women's night.

Gottsch used a 5-wood for her first career ace, but it wasn't on the proximity hole so the closest to the pin winner was Deb Frazer. Jan Weik made the longest putt.

On the Dutch Legacy, Tina Johnson won the longest drive and longest putt on the front nine, while the back nine winner was Kathy Fore.
