The unique event, held on July 4th at Chenequa Country Club in Hartland, WI, was planned and executed by Carl himself and featured an attempt by the longtime golfer to play 100 holes of golf in a single day. "The Fourth of July is the perfect day for this," Meyer said. "We are able to celebrate our freedoms because of the sacrifices veterans, past and present, have undertaken."
