Last week, we received a note about an aspiring young golfer in the Tri-Cities.
Watch out for this kid Jakeb Vallance of Richland.
Earlier this summer, John Vallance Jr., took his sons out to Columbia Park Golf Course. His 4-year-old, Jakeb, stepped up to No. 17.
"He drove the ball off the tee 94 yards onto the green. From there, it was 25 feet to the hole, and he putted it right in for a birdie."
Proud Papa added, "We heard, at about the same time this event took place, of a 6-year-old boy (in Dearborn, Mich.) who made a hole in one on the national news."
Well, thanks to the beauty of the World Wide Web, Jakeb Vallance now has made international news with this blog post.
