he last thing Aaron
Seidman expected when
he went to Little Traverse
Bay Golf Club in Harbor Springs for a
one-day golf expedition was to shoot a
hole-in-one.
But that's exactly
what the 21-year-
old University
of Michigan
senior from West
Bloomfield did June
24 on the 158-yard
10th hole.
Aaron
Because of a club
Seidman
promotion, players
began their round on the 10th hole.
So the ace was Seidman's first shot of
the day.
"The starter was there, and so was
the next group waiting to tee off ... it
was unbelievable': Seidman said.
Seidman hauled out a 5-iron,
but after he saw his father, Steve
Seidman, send a shot over the green
using a 5-iron, Seidman switched to a
6-iron. It was a wise decision.
His shot hit on the green and
bounced, disappearing from his view.
He thought the ball went past the hole,
but he couldn't find it when his group
reached the green.
"My brother Danny had an outra-
geous shot. He was eight inches from
the hole': Seidman said. "I half-joking-
ly told my dad to check the hole and
see if my ball was there. He looked,
and there it was:'
Danny Seidman, who lives in Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla., knocked in a short
putt for a birdie. Steve Seidman and
Tim Zimmerman of Farmington
Hills, Aaron Seidman's uncle and the
fourth member of the group, both
shot bogey. Aaron Seidman ended up
shooting 99 on the par-72 course.
Aaron Seidman became the first
member of the group to shoot a hole-
in-one. In fact, none had ever seen
a hole-in-one until that day. Steve
Seidman, an avid golfer, has been
playing for about 35 years.
As for Aaron Seidman, he golfs about
10 times a year. It was his third or
fourth time playing at Little Traverse
Bay. He was a doubles tennis player at
West Bloomfield High School, spending
three years on the varsity team.
He hopes to go to medical school
after he graduates from U-M.
Full House
Al Mudryk became a pioneer of
sorts when he won the eighth Texas
Hold'em poker tournament hosted
by the Bloch-Israel and Pisgah-Zeiger
B'nai B'rith lodges. The Livonia resi-
dent became the first member of the
sponsoring chapters to win the corn-
petition. He's a Pisgah-Zeiger member.
Bloch-Israel and Pisgah-Zeiger have
been holding the tournament since
June 2005 to raise money for their
programs. The last six have been held
at the JCC in West Bloomfield.
Also at the final eight-player table
at the most recent competition was
Chuck Mudryk of Southfield, Al
Mudryk's father. Mitch Lefton of
Farmington Hills was the runner-up.
Al Mudryk won $590 for his efforts.
Lefton took home $295. All the players
who made the final table won money.
Forty-one players competed.
Tournament co-host Rick Sherline
said the next Texas Hold'em event
probably will be held in winter 2010.
Best In The Area
Nicole Meisner received a nice going-
away present before she heads to Israel
this month to compete in track in the
18th Maccabiah Games.
The Berkley High School junior was
named to the Daily Tribune's Girls
Track and Field Dream Team.
She made it as a member of
Berkley's 4x100-meter relay team,
which won the event at the Royal Oak
Relays and Crestwood Invitational and
ran 50.95 in the state regionals.
Meisner also was a member of the
Tribune's All-Area 4x400 relay team.
Berkley senior Michelle Lapin was on
the All-Area 4x800 relay team.
King Casspi
An Israeli was chosen in the NBA draft's
first round for the first time. Israelis
were second-round picks three times.
Omri Casspi, 21, a 6-foot-9 forward
with Maccabi Tel Aviv, was selected by
the Sacramento Kings with the 23rd
pick. Casspi also is a member of the
Israeli national team. I I
