Former loan officer Ben Griffin clinches first PGA TOUR card
Posted Jun 13, 2022
Former North Carolina golfer Ben Griffin’s grandpa was an avid golf fan. Douglas Griffin lived in Hickory, North Carolina and passed away last July, with one line in his obituary reading, "Hit them long and straight." At the time, Ben was working as a mortgage loan officer. That line struck him and helped inspire him to pursue professional golf once again.
