Schiffner on a roll: Retired Los Angeles Police Department sergeant John Schiffner probably didn't want to see December come to an end. The longtime Sunset Hills Country Club member made his second hole in one of the month, acing the 215-yard 17th hole at Sunset Hills with a 3-wood.

Two weeks earlier, Schiffner made an ace at Moorpark Country Club.

His latest hole in one was witnessed Clair Burrill, Dennis Roberson and Fred Yamagishi. Schiffner retired from the LAPD in 1994 and had been playing golf 3-4 days a week since then. He now has six holes in one, five of them coming at his home course at Sunset Hills.
