Walter Gretzky Golf Tournament

On August 5, 2010 we had the opportunity to be the photographers for the CNIB Walter Gretzky Golf Tournament in Victoria, BC.  We spent the day at hole 10 where each of the teams had a chance to purchase a picture with Walter Gretzky.  It was such a delight to be there, all the organizers, volunteers, golfers and sponsors were so great to work with.  Walter was such a fun person, he had so many stories to share about life and history.   He was also such a cheerleader for each of the golfers, as he watched he would predict the outcome of each swing, which was inevitably correct 90% of the time.  He would also always ask if the golfers had any children or grandchildren who would like an autograph and would proceed to hand write each of them.  We were so excited to be a part of this great fundraising event.
