Four holes in one by Grindstone family at Grindstone Golf Course
New England Vignettes reports that four holes in one tops the Grindstone Golf Course tally, all by the Dixon family on the par three third hole this summer. The feat continues a 30 year family tradition started by F. E. Dixon Sr. and includes Eleanor Dixon Gentle and James Gentle. Nearby items include Beverly police ticketing a boat for illegally parked on dry land, and Woonsocket youths engaging with police over muffler tags amid a crackdown on noisy exhaust. A dogwood of oddities closes with a Maine incident where a carnival truck driver, Ernest R. Slazer, overturns after a woodchuck crossing Route 202.
