Noteworthy: Butcher, who has been playing golf seriously the past
two years, scored her first hole-in-one in April on Newport Beach
Country Club’s par-3 fourth hole, using a 7-iron. “I thought it went
in the sand trap and [playing partner Martha Carlson] said, ‘Jeanne,
I think it went into the hole.’ We walked to the green and I picked
it out of the hole.” Butcher plays three to four times a week and
credited Newport Beach Country Club head golf professional Paul Hahn,
along with Pam Higgins, for her development in golf.
