Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Blair White, with Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 1, first learned about the opportunity to win an all-expense-paid trip to the “Billy Hurley III and the Brave Golf Tournament” from the life-size poster of Hurley on display in the pro shop at NAS Patuxent River’s Cedar Point Golf Course.

“I wanted to enter because who wouldn’t want a chance to meet the only [current] PGA Tour golfer who is also a Navy veteran,” said White, who ended up winning one of the raffles held at Navy-affiliated golf courses around the country. “I was shocked when I won and extremely excited for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
