Larry Lammers has golf running through his veins.

The Temperance resident was in sixth grade when he learned the sport from his father, the late Dr. Gerald Lammers, who at one time was the club champion at Sylvania Country Club. Lammers’ brother Gerald Lammers II was at one time the youngest player on the PGA Tour, while another of his brothers, Terry, made seven hole-in-ones in his career. Lammers niece Lindsay played on the women’s tour, and nephew Nate is a golf professional in Ann Arbor.

“It’s remarkable,” Lammers said. “Almost uncanny. I marvel at it when I stop and think. I guess some people make football players, others make basketball players. We made golfers.”

Recently, Lammers added another chapter to his own golfing story.

Lammers notched the 16th hole-in-one of his career, and second this season, using his gap wedge to ace the 92-yard 11th hole at Carrington Golf Club. The 65-year-old was playing in a club tournament at the time.
