Clint Ables recently completed a 100 hold marathon with Jeff Ellison to raise to raise $1,430 for the Junior Golf Fund.

Mike Hegarty Hometown: Raised in San Marino, CA Facility: Wildhorse Resort & Casino Education: Graduated from the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR— class of 1986 Turned Pro: 1986 Proudest accomplishment in golf: “On the amateur side of the game, I was fortunate to win the Pacific Northwest Amateur in 1986 and qualify for a couple U.S. Amateurs. Then on the pro side, I was able to win 6 mini-tour events around the country in 1986-1992. But probably my proudest accomplishment is that I’ve been able to nurture a love for the game of golf in my son Reilly without destroying our friendship!”

On hosting tournaments: “It’s great to host your fellow PGA brothers when they are at our resort for either a PGA tournament or out for a little R&R with friends and family. It is due, in part, to the great game of golf that Wildhorse Resort & Casino has been able to prosper the way it has.”

Clint Ables Hometown: Enterprise, OR— a small town in northeastern Oregon two hours from Pendleton. Facility: Wildhorse Resort & Casino Education: Attended Western Oregon University on a football scholarship. Then turned to golf and played for College of the Desert in Palm Springs, CA. Turned Pro: 2002 On hosting tournaments: “What I like best about hosting tournaments is getting the opportunity to put our course and facility on display for guest to enjoy. An event like the Oregon Senior is nice because I get to meet and get to know some the pros that have been around our Section for many years.”

On the PGA Golf Day 100 hole marathon: “The 100 hole marathon was great. To be honest, I had my doubts that we would Suggest a professional to be be able to get all 100 holes in. Especially, since we had over 200 players booked to featured in the spotlight! play that day. I knew we could play quickly but I had no idea we would be making 35 E-mail [email protected] minute nines. ...I would definitely do it again, especially for such a great cause such as junior golf.” ForeWord Press ForeWord Press 23 Hudson Cup Points Pros on the Move
