LAKE PLACID — Fritz Mehler, a member of the Whiteface Club and Resort Golf Course, became the third player in this golf season to record a hole-in-one on the Lake Placid course.

Mehler, playing with his wife Cherie on June 23, aced the par three, 11th hole with a pitching wedge from 135 yards. It was his first official hole-in-one.

Mehler’s achievement was on the third different par three hole at the Whiteface Club this season. In May, John Enright of Warwick, Rhode Island canned his tee shot on the third hole. In June, Bruce Berra did the same on the eighth hole.

Only the brutish, uphill par three at the 14th, playing well over 200 yards from the blue and white tees, remains unscathed this year.
