Chansky’s Notebook: Little-Big Ben

Chapel Hill’s Ben Griffin is a pro in more ways than one. I’ve watched Ben Griffin play golf around town since he was a peanut-sized high school freshman with a herky-jerky swing. But no matter the age or size, Griffin could bomb the golf ball. Then he grew up in several ways, smoothed out his swing and signed to play for his hometown college team. (Chapelboro.com)
