Detective's lucky drive wins him a car

By Globe Staff

A Bourne police detective is driving around in a new car after making a lucky shot in a charity golf tournament last month.

Dave Lonergan, 48, of Sandwich hit a hole-in-one during the tournament organized by the Barnstable County sheriff's department at a country club in Mashpee.

The prize for a hole-in-one at the 170-yard 11th hole was a new car, a 2007 GMC SUV.

"The other three guys didn’t get on the green, so I was just hoping to get on the green," Lonergan. "Next thing you know, it bounced once and trickled right in."
