Former Dothan resident Brian Wahl was on a treadmill last week when he saw the 334 area code pop up on his cell phone.
The guys are his sons, 12-year-old Bibb and 15-year-old Alex, both of whom were on the waiting list for the Press Thornton Future Masters being held this week in Dothan.“She said, ‘I’ve got good news … there’s room for Alex and there’s room for Bibb, can you let us know real quick?’” Wahl said.
His mother, Vicki, wasn’t a regular golfer, but she actually once got a hole-in-one at the Dothan Country Club on hole No. 5 using a 9-iron from about 85 yards out. “This year, Alex played for Homewood High School in Birmingham … he’ll be a sophomore and he’s in their top five. Alex started playing really well and we started playing a few more regional tournaments, and so I decided to apply in January knowing it was a long shot … and it was … we got wait-listed.”
“She really encouraged us to be persistent, and we were,” Wahl said of checking back to see if there was any movement on the waiting list. “Then we ran into her again two weeks ago at Old Waverly In Mississippi and talked again. She said be persistent; people get in late off the waiting list.
