Walking around Harbour Town
Though it has nothing to do with golf, the boat name the ``Yellow Jacket'' has been a hot topic of conversation at the Verizon Heritage this week. It is owned by John and Elizabeth Calvert, the prominent Hilton Head Island couple that owned the famous marina near the course and vanished March 3, leaving few clues behind. The boat is docked at the slip closest to Harbour Town Golf Links' 18th green, and though a tarp covers the boat name on the back of the boat, many can spot it and know all about it. It was the Calverts' part-time home and has remained docked in the marina since their disappearance. The unsolved case is intriguing, considering the Calverts haven't been found the last known person to have seen the couple alive, Dennis Gerwing, is dead and it's believed he took his own life after being named a "person of interest" by authorities.
To look on the cards of playing partners Jay Williamson and Jason Bohn, the 195-yard seventh hole wouldn't appear to be especially exciting. Williamson made a birdie and Bohn a par. But spectators around the hole nearly had a highlight to remember. Both players came up short of the green in a vast bunker that nearly surrounds it. And both were shortsided with a front pin. Williamson went first and holed out, lightly landing the ball on the front of the green and watching it roll into the hole. Bohn also landed his ball softly on the front and watched it slowly roll to the hole, lifting his arms a moment prematurely as the ball lipped out.
