He was known only as Hatch in our Sunday morning golf group. Hatch was one of the original members of our weekly get togethers, as we spent many years chasing that little white ball all over the many courses we shared together. One memory that stands out is the time Hatch was teeing off and swung so hard and at such a steep angle that he drove the ball into the ground, and it ricochet behind him for negative yards. It was one of those things you needed to have on camera to believe. I also got to witness one of his great triumphs with his hole in one at Birch Run Golf Course in North Baltimore. Dave Hatch was a good friend and will be sorely missed, and long remembered! RIP!!
