Dave Walker Hits Longest Drive

By: Dan Halloran

 

A number of our PV Rotarians played in the Roots and Wings Golf Tournament in support of the local School District on Sunday, October 4.  I know at least the following played in the tournament, and there may have been others: Mike Dobbins, Gene Vander Plaats, Torie England and our foursome of Dan Halloran, Mark Fleming, Bob Kline, and Dave Walker.

 

My purpose in bringing this up, is that this tournament was the first time Dave Walker had played golf in some 40 years.  On hole number 15, there was an optional feature that a player could (for a modest fee) use an air gun to shoot his drive instead of hitting the ball with a golf club.  We chose Dave to use the air gun, and he sent the drive hurtling some 375 yards forward, enabling us to birdie the hole!  The photo is of Dave aiming the airgun.
