Two Durham Senior Amateur Golfers were stunned when they both made aces on the same hole to win new Lexus ES 300 Hybrids on May 21st. Johnson Lexus was honored to sponsor the 2013 Durham Senior Amateur Golf Championship which took place at Croasdaile Country Club in Durham on May 20th and 21st. The hole in one prize we sponsored was a 2 year lease on a brand new 2013 Lexus ES 300 Hybrid. On day two of the Championship Johnson Lexus was thrilled when Kelly Ritter, Durham resident, stepped up to the tee at hole #11 drove the ball with expertise and sunk the hole-in-one ! An hour later Gerry Silva arrived at hole #11 and with one remarkable swing the unprecedented became reality. He sunk the second hole- in-one of the day. Johnson Lexus was elated that, against all odds, two players shot aces to win two of our Lexus vehicles. We were shocked and anguished when we discovered the Johnson Lexus prize was displayed at hole number eleven, when our contract stated the insurance policy was written for hole number two. Despite the costly mix up, Johnson Lexus dealerships took over immediately and stepped up to the tee. Johnson Lexus of Durham and Johnson Lexus of Raleigh awarded each of the two lucky golfers with new 2013 Lexus ES 300 Hybrids sedans. Mr. David Johnson, Chairman/CEO of Johnson Lexus stated that “these players should be proud, our dealerships have been hole in one sponsors of this tournament, and many others, for years. In the spirit of sportsmanship and giving back to the communities which have given us so much, we’re excited to provide another dream come true to two amazing athletes.”
