Jeff Kolodjay and his golfing buddies are getting another chance to golf in South Carolina. But this time, he's driving.
The 31-year-old Connecticut man, his father, cousin and friends were on their way to Myrtle Beach for a golf vacation in January when their US Airways flight crash landed into New York's Hudson River.
Now, they're getting a free four-night stay at a Myrtle Beach golf resort in April thanks to Legends Resorts and Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. The marketing firm contacted Kolodjay after seeing him talk on television after the January 15 emergency landing.
Kolodjay told the media he would be driving to South Carolina this time. He said his wife is seven months pregnant, and they "just want to make sure that we'll get there this time".
