I have had a love affair with Wake Forest since my undergraduate days, but I didn’t realize until many years later what I had truly learned at Wake Forest, both in and out of the classroom, about the meaning of a productive and meaningful life,
Everyone I built a course for thinks they have the best golf course in the world and I'm very pleased and proud of that.
