Gallery: New Short Game Golf Facility known as ‘The Jim’

November 18, 2018 by Nicholas Cromwell

“The Jim” is the golf teams brand new short game practice facility on the east side of Judge Ely. “The Jim” is named after the fathers of the main contributors, Eric Oliver and Mark Anthony, Jim Oliver and Jim Anthony. The facility is a great addition to campus as it gives the golf team to meet and practice on campus. In the future they plan to build a clubhouse called the Byron Nelson Clubhouse, but are still fundraising.

About Nicholas Cromwell

Nicholas is a senior accounting and finance major from Dallas.

Being an accounting major, I don't spend all of my time crunching numbers but spend a lot of my free time outside, adventuring. Specifically I enjoy cycling, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, camping, sports of all kinds, and taking photos of these things. However, sometimes I also spend my time inside, cooking! I prefer to do my adventuring with other people who like to adventure because adventuring with people is much more memorable.
