Four local businessmen and golfing buddies – Michael Hauser, Andrew Hartline, Dave Haller and Darren Sylvia – sweated it out last Sunday as members of their own “72 Club,” playing 72 holes of golf at four country clubs.
If that weren’t enough, they did it the hard way – walking the course while carrying their own bags. The four walked roughly 26 miles, sitting down only for the drives between courses.
The foursome began at dawn at the Vero Beach Country Club before moving on to John’s Island Club and Riomar Country Club, finishing as the sun set over the lagoon at the Moorings Yacht and Country Club.
This is the third time they’ve attempted to test their drive – pun intended – while in the process raising more than $4,000 to benefit the Indian River Golf Foundation, where Hauser is a board member.
Funds raised will help provide access to young people who would not otherwise be able to play.
