Jim Valvano taught us to enjoy life and to cherish every moment.
As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.
Never been less disappointed to be run off the 18th hole by a down pour in my life. Thanks for the hospitality @deanfarlow71 ! Deep Springs was such a fun golf course in fantastic condition. #thankthelordforrain
Stopped by Lonnie Poole Golf Course at NC State to see @CarolinasGCSA President Brian Green who was extremely gracious with his time toured the course, lunched, and signed the #GCSAACentennialFlag. Concludes an awesome trip to North Carolina #ThankYou#Leaders
It's a big week for the Carolinas as we host a PGA Tour doubleheader!
We want to send a huge shout-out and the best of luck to @kcwood74 at Quail Hollow Club for the Truist Championship and Past President @3SteveHamilton, CGCS, at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club for the Myrtle Beach Classic.
Having two events running simultaneously in our region is a testament to the incredible talent and hard work of our superintendents and their teams.
We know the conditions will be world class!⛳️🙌

V: Don’t give up, don’t ever give up
Will Wade: If you can’t win with a $10 million roster, lose three games by 25 points, can’t win a First Four game, realize you’ll never compete with Duke … give up and go back to LSU
