Randy Watkins, Chair of the Randy Watkins Golf Group, spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the Club’ June 11, 2019, meeting. The Randy Watkins Golf Group owns and operates three golf courses in the Jackson area: Patrick Farms, Whisper Lake, and Lake Caroline. The subject of Mr. Watkins’ presentation was Golf happenings in Mississippi. He discussed his career as a golfer: amateur, collegiate, and professional, including his experience at the US. Open and his experience as an Ole Miss golfer. Additionally, he discussed up and coming golfers in Mississippi and the Sanderson Farms Tournament that has an estimated $20 million impact on our local economy. The tournament now has an exclusive date during which there will be no other PGA tournaments. This exclusive date should assure that the tournament will attract a stronger, more well-known field and attract a wider fan base.
We thank Mr. Watkins for his presentation and for his commitment to Mississippi. He is shown (left) with Club President Anna Powers and Club. Member and Past President Kevin Russell who introduced him.
