Golf champ Barnes dies at 91

The Georgia golf community lost one of its most endearing ambassadors when amateur champion Tommy Barnes died Thursday.

In addition to his ability to compete at a high level, Mr. Barnes, 91, was equally known for his welcoming smile, his story-telling ability and his amazing memory. Able to battle the nation's best players, Mr. Barnes was equally adept at making a hacker feel comfortable during a casual round.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Barnes and his Family
