The second of three Kids Golf Camps is taking place at our Lion Hills Center & Golf Club this week. The four-day camps include daily lessons in the basics of golf, lunch and swimming in the Lion Hills Center pool. The last camp is full.
When I was 22, I moved to North Carolina for an internship at Pinehurst for three months for the US Open. Really...the first extended time in my life I'd been away from home. And this guy made it the most memorable summer of my life.
This is Rufus Cole. The longtime foreman of Pinehurst Number 2. One of the top golf courses in the world. He was my boss...and he was our dad while we were away from home.
I'm in Greensboro, NC for a couple days and decided to ride down the Pinehurst this morning. And I was lucky enough to run into him. Actually, I kinda stalked around to find him. This dude had a heavy hand in teaching me about work.
First, get your job done. And do it right the first time. But the most important thing, he treated the work family like they were family. "Come on boys, we're going to play softball this weekend." "My family reunion is this weekend and you'd better be there. My family's never seen anybody from Mississippi." Work doesn't have to be a chore.
He was a firm believer in offering a smile...and never raising his voice in a mean way. He was the king of being passive aggressive. "Hey, I need somebody to run over to 3 green and edge that bunker". Someone would say, "I've already done it." And he'd reply, "well if you'd done it right I wouldn't have to take volunteers." And then he'd laugh.
I've always been told to work hard and "be good to people." And this is the guy who's embodied it every day of his life. I'm glad I ran into him today. I told him how those three months were some of the most influential of my life. I'm forever grateful the Good Lord allowed our paths to cross.
Shout to one of our recent @EMCCturfandlan1 grads for the grind at the SEC tourney. Hopefully the weekend ahead at Dudy Noble is much drier!! Looking for Fall 26 enrollees.
Only 1 would walk but 5 total graduating from @EMCCturfandlan1. Go be great! Next year we celebrate 100 years. Currently adding new students for the fall term. Join us soon!
Great time sharing some turf and landscape basics from our @EMCCturfandlan1 program last week with an awesome group of young kids. Thanks for allowing me to visit.
The annual football golf tournament is approaching quickly! There is still time to register to play; sponsorship opportunities are also available. The spots will fill up, though, so contact Coach Wilk asap! [email protected] 🏈⛳️https://t.co/F9UUvLV2i7

@BarstoolGruden Real cool. He would have been Leach's best here. Leach was set to be really consistent here. People forget that and that we had hard hard times losing him.
JACKETS WIN!!! Starkville takes down Caledonia to begin a busy Spring Break week!

Wait how was that shot waved off???? I don’t know the circumstances but the red light around the backboard on the far end clearly came on well after the shot was released.
What am I missing?
