  • Wake Forest Golftradition
    Wake Forest Golf Tradition The ongoing tradition of Deacon golf arose from humble beginnings on a nine-hole course near the old campus in Wake Forest, N.C. From its inception in 1933 until 1947, the Wake Forest golf program was composed simply of students interested in golf and received a limited amount of support from the athletic department. This arrangement changed, however, in 1947, when then-director of athletics Jim Weaver conceived the idea of promoting a sport in which Wake could excel on a regional and national basis. Weaver, Wake Forest part-time coach Johnny Johnston, and the first two recruits – Marvin “Buddy” Worsham and Arnold Palmer – would significantly change the Wake Forest program. The latter’s ability and golf credentials are world-renowned, but his generous legacy to the Deacons is perhaps less well-known. Palmer, who attended Wake Forest from 1947-54 (he took some time away from the school to serve in the Coast Guard), endowed Wake with its first golf scholarship in 1960 in honor of close friend Worsham, who was killed in a 1950 automobile accident. The substantial financial backing, along with Palmer’s continuing involvement with the program, was crucial in the campaign to build the Demon Deacons’ reputation to the point at which it stands today. Since Palmer’s time, over 20 golfers have passed through the program on to the PGA Tour, most of them under the tutelage of the great coach Jesse Haddock, who won three national titles at the helm of the Wake Forest program. With more Wake players continuing to break onto the Tour nearly each year, the generosity of these former Deacs, both monetarily and, per- haps more impor- tantly, in gifts of their time, is an integral factor in the success of the program.

Trenham 2010 to 2017 2010 In November Leo DeGisi was sworn in for a second three-year term as a PGA of America director. 2011 The Section celebrated its 90th birthday and Rich Steinmetz won the Section Championship for a third time. 2012 Stu Ingraham won the Section Championship, Sr. Championship, Player-of-the-Year, points and scoring average. 2013 Harry Hammond won the PGA Bill Strausbaugh Award, Mark Sheftic was on the PGA Cup Team for a 3rd time. 2014 Lou Guzzi-teaching, Rick Kline-merchandising and Scott Nye-merchandising were honored with national awards. 2015 The Philadelphia Cricket Club hosted the PGA Professional National Championship. 2016 In November Tom Carpus was elevated to chairman of the PGA of America rules committee. 2017 Dave McNabb played in three majors: Senior PGA Championship, U.S. Senior Open, PGA Championship 2010 A new decade began with the country in a deep recession and the business of golf was in just as deep. There were more golf courses than there were golfers. Definitely, there were too many golf professionals. Some golf courses were closing which was the best for the business in general but difficult for the employees. One golf writer stated that for the first time more golfers were on waiting lists to get out of clubs in the United States that there were waiting to get into clubs. In January the PGA made some changes to the apprentice program. One of those was that all applicants to the apprentice program would have to complete three online courses and pass a knowledge course before being al- lowed to register in the program.

Ed Dougherty Ted Tryba Ron Rolfe Jim Masserio Tomas J. “Tom” Carpus Tom Carpus was born in Buffalo, New York in 1961 and grew up in Upper Darby. At the age of ten he ventured out to Cobb’s Creek Golf Club where he fished golf balls out of the creeks and sold them to the profes- sional, Andy Pettineo, Sr. Soon he was caddying and playing golf there. That led to his working for Andy, Sr. and Jr. cleaning the golf carts and shagging balls for the golf lessons. From there he went on to Drexel Univer- sity where he graduated with a business degree and played on the golf team. He lettered four years and won the East Coast Conference individual cham- pionship in his senior year. He was inducted into the Drexel University ath- letic hall of fame in 2007. In 1985 he turned pro and went to work as an assistant to Harry Heagy at the Rolling Green Golf Club. After six years as an assistant at Rolling Green he signed on with the Philadelphia Section PGA as the tournament director. As the supervisor for more than 100 Sec- tion competitions he found himself needing to become an expert on the rules of golf. He began attending rules seminars and found his calling in the game of golf.

It was not immediately clear whether the hack affected President Barack Obama, other senior government officials or the intelligence community. The Washington Post and other US media cited government officials as saying that Chinese hackers were behind the breach. But the Chinese embassy in Washington countered that such attacks would not be allowed under Chinese law. “Jumping to conclusions and mak- ing hypothetical accusations is not responsible and counterproductive,” embassy spokesman Zhu Haiquan said. “Chinese laws prohibit cyber crimes of all forms. China has made great efforts to combat cyber attacks in accor- dance with Chinese laws and regulations,” he added. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are said to be leading the investigation.
