The Reward They Deserve

At Central Alabama Community College, it is has become an annual event for the men’s golf team to compete on the national level. To the best of my recollection, CACC golf made it to the National Championship Golf Tournament every year but two. This accomplishment speaks volumes to the consistent level of success for this college athletic program. Personally, I have been blessed to play a part in this athletic program, as a student-athlete in the 1970s and now as head coach.

In 2001, I was selected to coach the Trojan golf program after it had been shutdown. Accepting the coaching position was best decision of my life. In that first year, the college did not even have a team, so my job was to recruit players; spread the news that CACC golf was back; and begin fundraising for the financial assistance needed to field a team.
