Chansky’s Notebook: Local Legend Ben Griffin Rebounds

Posted Jul 13, 2022
What a fairy-tale golf year for Ben Griffin. The former All-ACC and All-American at UNC seemed destined for the pro tour. Fast forward three years, and Griffin was sitting behind a desk as a loan officer, having quit golf after missing five straight cuts on the PGA Latino-America tour. It seemed impossible for the one-time local legend and star at UNC. (Chapelboro.com)
