The duffer’s creed is to never fall in love with a golf ball because it will always leave you. Pat Lamb can attest to that; hundreds of thousands of times over.
Lamb is a retired Vienna businessman whose “hobby” is to scour the pond and lake bottoms of 31 golf courses throughout southern Illinois, southeastern Missouri and western Kentucky retrieving AWOL golf balls. To say the waters are ripe for the picking is an understatement. The number of balls Lamb hauls in would put dimples on the faces of the most seasoned “Deadliest Catch” crabbers.
Volunteers including Jacob Crews (shown) lined the route from town to the rural cemetery where Will Templeton will be laid to rest. (click on the image to view more pictures the people who are helping to honor a young man in the proper way)
