David Wall, a Blackshear native, took a liking to golf early in his life. He started playing the game at the age of 10 and dominated the sport while in high school and college. He was low medalist for the 1979 Blackshear High School state championship golf team and went on to earn a scholarship at both South Georgia College in Douglas and Augusta College. Following college, Wall went on to qualify for the US Amateur and turned pro in 1985. He played the Florida Mini -Tour for four years, winning 25 events and joined the Hooters Tour in 1990 where he won the Brick Landing Open in Wilmington, NC in 1991 and the Collins Pro Classic in Louisville, KY in 1996. During his time on the Hooters Tour, Wall made 35 cuts in a row. He left the tour after being diagnosed with the disease that slowly robbed him of his muscle control and eventually took his life. David loved God, his family, his friends (many of them junior golfers). David's family acts as tournament host including his parents, Mr & Mrs. William Wall, his brother, Mr. Bill Wall, his sister Mrs. Debbie Gilleon, and his wife Dawn, and sons, DJ, Logan, & Kirby.
