Posted Apr 28, 2026
For 33 years, "Wilkie" has been a constant at UNC's A.E. Finley Golf Course, whether behind the counter in the golf shop, or teaching one of thousands of lessons he has given on the driving range and practice areas. During his tenure, Tar Heel coaches and players have come and gone, and tens of thousands of players of all ages have played Finley.
