Shooting for 72 on a golf course will have an entirely different meaning for punter Jeff Locke on June 19, the day after the Vikings mandatory minicamp breaks.
Locke will be participating in the second annual “The Longest Day of Golf for the Troops” at Bunker Hills Golf Club in Coon Rapids. A scramble format and prolonged daylight from the summer solstice weekend might allow his team a run at 72 holes.
Locke, who was born in Germany while his father was stationed in the U.S. Air Force, enjoyed raising more than $2,400 for teeitupforthetroops.
