dennis walters receives the bob jones award

The USGA bestowed its highest honor, the Bob Jones Award, on Dennis Walters of Jupiter, Fla., at a ceremony on June 13, 2018, one of the highlights of U.S. Open Championship week in Southampton, N.Y.

Presented annually since 1955, the Bob Jones Award recognizes an individual who demonstrates the spirit, personal character and respect for the game exhibited by Jones, winner of nine USGA championships.

Known for his never-say-quit attitude, Walters turned the tragedy of being paralyzed from the waist down at age 24 from a golf-cart accident into a personal mission to teach golf and life lessons to a worldwide audience. His story continues to inspire fans of all backgrounds through the countless professional talks and trick-shot shows he has conducted since 1977.

Someone did catch lightning in a bottle for two holes.  Veteran Masters and Wildwood Golf Club Member, Jeff Jena played holes 11 and 12 in 4 Strokes.  Yes, you read that correctly, he aced Hole #11 on the 156 yard par three and then tapped in his nearly holed second shot on the par four, 351 yard, 12th hole.  Congratulations Jeff.
