Jim,

That is a wonderfully written article about a terrific golf coach and person. For those who have been around this site for a while, the Chuck Taylor prominently mentioned in the article is duketaylor who posts on this site.

Thanks. That article caught the essence of the man I knew.

I actually tried to follow in Chuck's footsteps, trying out for the team as a walk-on, but I didn't have enough talent (and had a miserable round on a rainy/windy day). Even so, Myers was very friendly throughout the entire process and treated the potential walkons with respect. It is sad to hear that he passed on, but the article did a nice job of mentioning his many positive attributes/accomplishments.

for the article. It was nice meeting you Tuesday. Had lunch with many former teammates as well as Mark Alaries, who's gone into business with one of my teammates. Got to talk with Bob Harris, Joe Alleva, Jim and many other dignitaries, including longtime Wake coach Jesse Haddock, State coach Richard Sykes and former Heel coach Devon Brouse. Lots of good memories on a beautiful spring day.
RIP Coach!!
