Recognition Slow Coming To Bill Haraway
Bill Haraway, a lifelong golfer from Danville, is underrecognized despite a career spanning state and national events. He recalls limited hometown exposure, with key achievements including the 1973 Danville Golf Club club championship, a 1983 Virginia State Colt Association Junior title, and a 1971 USGA Open tie for fifth with Vinnie Giles. Haraway aims to turn pro but plans to finish school at Averett first, focusing on golf while awaiting the State Amateur at Chatmoss near Martinsville. He caddied for notable pros and played with Jerry Pate, Tommy Aaron, and others during service and Florida PGA tour years.
