Hole-in-one at Cottonwood

Posted

TORRINGTON – Spring has been in the air throughout Goshen County and many community members are enjoying the beautiful sunshine while they participate in a well-loved past time, golf. 

To many, there’s nothing better than enjoying what Torrington truly has to offer at Cottonwood Golf Course and that is exactly what Andy Espinoza and his golfing pal, Billy Janes did on Thursday, March 21. 

Espinoza, who has been golfing at the course for many years, stuck it rich when he landed a hole-in-one Thursday afternoon on hole nine. Espinoza drove the ball 140 yards from the blue tees with a nine wood. 

The record-shot was witnessed by Janes. 

Espinoza has been golfing at Cottonwood in the early 1980s when he moved to Torrington.

“This is my second hole-in-one I’ve had. Both were on the same hole, number nine in Torrington,” Espinoza said. “My wife has had three so I am catching up to her almost.”
