Sandtraps May Be the Least of the Trouble for 3 Clubless Golfers

All golfers hit a slice now and again. Heck, it took professional golfer Kevin Na 16 shots to complete a par-4 ninth hole April 14 at the Valero Texas Open.

Those looking to claim the bags should call Trooper James Ford at 610-395-1438.

Three girls and a boy ate then ordered the additional medium pizza to go and left the store at 4536 Hamilton Blvd. about 10:20 p.m. April 22, according to state police at Fogelsville.
