Athletes begin training in the "Coach J" era

Hurricane Creek Country Club is celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year and to commemorate the event, we took a stroll around 18 holes with one of the club's most iconic members It's hard to capture the history of 50 years in two hour's worth of golf cart touring around 18 holes, but as the early morning dew burned off of the immaculate landscaping, Oscar Williams and I took a 50year ride around entire course
