Kirby records ace

SEQUIM — Sequim’s Jessica Kirby notched her first hole-in-one while playing The Cedars at Dungeness on March 31.

Kirby aced the No. 4 hole from 122 yards out using a TaylorMade TP5X and her 7-iron.

The shot was witnessed by Rudy Whitehead of Forks.

Kirby finished her round with an even-par 37 on the front nine.

Cedars ladies play

SEQUIM — The Cedars at Dungeness 18-hole Golf Group returned to weekly Tuesday morning rounds last month. The group played its second Monthly Medal round of the season this week.

Marine Hirschfeld enjoyed a solid round, winning the gross division with an 87 and a low number of putts (28). Hirschfeld hit it closest to the pin (4 feet, 3 inches) on the fourth hole and drained the subsequent birdie putt.

Bobbie Piety claimed the net division with a round of 74 and had the second-fewest putts (28). Wanda Synnestvedt, Kathy Langston and Anne Rosencrantz all tied with 76s.

Lori Wyngaert earned closest to the pin on No. 17, hitting it to within 4 feet.

The group welcomes new players.

Ride the Hurricane

PORT ANGELES — Registration is now open for the Aug. 6 Ride the Hurricane event.

Early registration costs $70. After June 1, any remaining slots or registrations from the waitlist will be $80. The National Park Service restricts the number of cyclists in Olympic National Park at once, so space is limited.

Ride the Hurricane is a demanding hill climb with an elevation profile designed to challenge human conditioning and endurance. The climb begins at the edge of Port Angeles Harbor with a leg-burning 18-mile, 5,000-foot-high climb to the summit of Hurricane Ridge.

There will be frequent aid stations along the way help to fuel the climb. The ride back down ends where it started — at the Port Angeles City Pier. After the ride, people can join The Party on the Pier, with a taco bar, local craft beer from Barhop Brewery and other refreshments.

To register, visit https://ride thehurricane.org.
