VX-1 Sailor wins slot to participate in charity golf tournament

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.”
