Orland Park’s Nick Latus hit some golf balls with his grandfather, Chuck Stancik, on the morning of Wednesday, March 25, at the White Mountain Golf Park driving range. 

“It’s the only place I can hang out with him,” Latus said. “It’s out in the open. This is a good place for us to see each other.”

They enjoyed getting out in what turned out to be a topsy-turvy week for golf in Illinois.
