Local Golfer Sinks Hole In One, Wins $70,000 BMW In Concord Tournament

July 16, 2011 By admin

CONCORD – A local golfer hit it big Saturday on a course in Concord. Frank Lombardi, who is a member at Nashawtuc Country Club, sunk a hole in one on the seventeenth hole, in the final round of the Nashawtuc Men’s Invitational. It was his first ace ever. The reward for his hole in one was a 2011 BMW 7 Series. The car has a starting retail price of $70,000. Herb Chambers BMW of Sudbury sponsored the giveaway. Lombardi’s father was his partner for the member-guest event, and witnessed the remarkable shot. There is some bad news, It’s unclear whether the IRS counts the car as a prize or a gift.

In all things, Chambers moves quickly when he sees what he wants. He’s been known to close a deal on a new location in half an hour, and now, sitting across the table from his weakened rival, he sensed the chance to close … [Read more...]
