Failure, says Jacob Martinez (‘13), gave him the freedom to take risks and push personal boundaries. That led him to success. Story link in profile. #wfu #wakeforest #googleplay #failure #success #wakealumni #wakeforestuniversity (at Wake Forest Magazine)

It’s Arnold Palmer Day! Wherever you may be, join the campus celebration as we toast @wfuniversity’s favorite son with the refreshing beverage that bears his name (iced tea with lemonade) and remember words from the legend himself. “I came to Wake Forest on a bus with my golf clubs and my suitcase. Wake Forest taught me things I had no idea existed in this world.” #wfugolf #arnoldpalmer #arnoldpalmerday #wakegolf #pga #golflegend #wakeforest #golfdynasty #arniesarmy (at Wake Forest University)

When the late Jesse Haddock (‘52) took over as @wakemgolf coach in 1960, he accepted the job determined to produce top quality teams. What he produced was, in fact, a collegiate golf dynasty. Haddock, shown at left in 2011 with Arnold Palmer (‘51) and Sen. Richard Burr (‘78), was highly regarded as a recruiter and motivator. Many of his players including Curtis Strange (‘77), Lanny Wadkins (‘72), Jay Haas (‘76), Jerry Haas (‘85), Gary Hallberg (‘80), Jay Sigel (‘67), Billy Andrade (‘87), Jim Simons and Len Mattiace went on to outstanding @pgatour Careers. Haddock died March 14; a memorial service will be at 2 p.m. March 19 in Wait Chapel. #wfu #wakeforest #jessehaddock #golf #pga #wakeforestgolf #arnoldpalmer #golfcoach #demondeacons #godeacs #deaclegends #wakealumni #golfdynasty (at Wake Forest University)
