GUEST :

With over 6,449 wins to his credit, the clean-cut kid from Oshawa has been called the "Crown Prince" of the "sport of kings." Hawley was only 16-years-old and 105 pounds when he quit school, obsessed by the horse racing. In his first year of riding he won North America's top apprentice award, as well as Canada's leading jockey recognition, a title he held for 6 straight years. At 24, he was the first jockey to ride over 500 winners in a single season breaking Bill Shoemaker's 20-year-old record of 485. Sandy has been inducted into 8 Halls of Fame including Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and the North American Horse Racing Hall of Fame. In the high stakes competition of racing, Hawley has distinguished himself with his fierce competitiveness and an uncanny way with horses.

Sandy Hawley's most demanding challenge has been not been aboard a thoroughbred, but against virulent skin cancer. Told 12 years ago that he had only months to live, he has courageously battled the melanoma with experimental drugs, diet, prayer and determination. Involved in over 20 charities each year, giving much of his time to helping others, Sandy Hawley is truly a small man with a big heart !

FISHING:

Fishing at Disney's Seven Seas Lagoon aboard a pontoon style boat for largemouth bass using tube jigs.

GOLF COURSE :

COMPETITION :

Henry and Sandy compete at two sports - fishing and golf - with handicap strokes being awarded to the most successful angler and least capable golfer. In the bass fishing competition, each pound counts as 1 stroke, but Sandy's catch is doubled. In the golf match, Henry tries to make up a 5-shot difference.
