The shot was witnessed by Rudy Whitehead of Forks.

Kirby finished her round with an even-par 37 on the front nine.

Cedars ladies play

SEQUIM — The Cedars at Dungeness 18-hole Golf Group returned to weekly Tuesday morning rounds last month. The group played its second Monthly Medal round of the season this week.

Bobbie Piety claimed the net division with a round of 74 and had the second-fewest putts (28). Wanda Synnestvedt, Kathy Langston and Anne Rosencrantz all tied with 76s.

Ride the Hurricane

PORT ANGELES — Registration is now open for the Aug. 6 Ride the Hurricane event.

Early registration costs $70. After June 1, any remaining slots or registrations from the waitlist will be $80. The National Park Service restricts the number of cyclists in Olympic National Park at once, so space is limited.

Ride the Hurricane is a demanding hill climb with an elevation profile designed to challenge human conditioning and endurance. The climb begins at the edge of Port Angeles Harbor with a leg-burning 18-mile, 5,000-foot-high climb to the summit of Hurricane Ridge.

There will be frequent aid stations along the way help to fuel the climb. The ride back down ends where it started — at the Port Angeles City Pier. After the ride, people can join The Party on the Pier, with a taco bar, local craft beer from Barhop Brewery and other refreshments.

To register, visit https://ride thehurricane.org.
