The only weatherman to enter the Guinness Book of Records, Dave Devall, is coming to Bermuda next month to support a golf charity event that will raise funds for the Bermuda Environmental Alliance.Canadian Mr Devall holds the world record for being the longest-serving TV weatherman in the world with an unbroken career that lasted 48 years and two months on the Toronto station CTV. He started in 1961 and remained as the weatherman until his retirement in 2009.He has a strong interest in the environment, and golf, and will combine both when he is special guest and master of ceremonies at the golf day at Port Royal Golf Course on June 15.“I’m looking forward to speaking to Canadians on the Island who helped me get the record,” said the famous weatherman. “I’ve participated in a number of golf tournaments and I jumped at the opportunity to help with this one for the BEA.”Last year he assisted the environmental organisation to promote a series of TV documentaries highlighting green initiatives in Bermuda and some of the Island’s fragile environmental treasures. The BEA is currently completing a new documentary on another aspect of Bermuda’s environmental story.Asked what his golf handicap was, Mr Devall joked “only me”, adding: “I usually shoot in the low 90s, a few times in the 80s. Golf is about being out in the fresh air with friends. The only competition is yourself.“I hope Canadians in Bermuda will take the opportunity to come out and say hello. The proceeds go to the BEA, which is anxious to promote the need to be friendly to Mother Earth. We have been abusing this planet for so long. We can’t go anywhere else. So we have to look after this planet it’s the only one we’ve got.”Leading Island businessman David Ezekiel, who is also chairman of the BEA, came up with the idea of a golf day to raise fund for the environmental charity. And he is delighted to have Mr Devall involved. He said: “He has been a great supporter and he hopes to connect with residents and Canadians who will come up to see him. We are a charitable organisation and we are lucky enough to have corporate sponsors, some of whom help the BEA on specific documentaries. Funding is essential and everyone is looking for opportunities to engage supporters. We thought this would be a good opportunity to get some teams out.”Mr Ezekiel, who is a keen golfer with a nine handicap, also knows the team who run the Port Royal course and said he loved what they had done in recent years to improve the venue. He added: “I’m excited about this golf day on every level.”Anyone wishing to make a late entry to the golf day should contact Diana Fearis on 278-2002 or Diana.Fearis[AT]marsh.com
