Golf Pro Abandons Lesson To Save Man From Sinking Car

Thanks to reader Mark for Jenna McMurray's Calgary Sun story on Canyon Meadows Golf and CC head pro Josh Gardner abandoning a lesson to go save a driver in danger of drowning after their minivan plunged into a nearby lake.

Gardner writes:

“I heard a bang and then I saw it go airborne, through the air, right into the middle of the pond,” he said.

 

Gardner told his students to call 911 and yelled at the driver of the vehicle.

“He wasn’t responding so I just made the choice to go into the water,” he said.

“(The minivan) started to go down, I could see the water level rising in it.”

Gardner even went back in to see if there was a second driver. Now that's courage!
