Bill Flower has stopped driving.
It has nothing to do with his ability to operate a vehicle, but more about him no longer able to continue to drive a white dimpled orb down the fairways.
Injuries to his wrist and shoulder has forced to him to end his golf teaching career and to give up playing the sport he is so avidly passionate about.
But the longtime Parksville Qualicum Beach BԪַ golf columnist is not one to allow such handicaps to dictate what he can and cannot do. Although golfing is now out of the picture, he has found a recreation that has put him back on the driverBԪַs seat.
And that new founded activity is driving a pedicab.
BԪַNow instead of teaching people how to drive IBԪַm actually driving people,BԪַ said Flower with a laugh.
BԪַParksville BillBԪַ as he now likes to be called, can now be seen around the city touring locals and tourists on his electric assist pedicab, operating his business Parksville Pedicab.
