In Memoriam

Mr. Jack Bandy was a lifelong resident of Dalton, Georgia, and was a tremendous golfer and philanthropist. Mr. Bandy had an outstanding amateur career as a golfer. But he was also one of the leaders in the development of the carpet industry in Dalton. Mr. Bandy was impressed by the vision for the Bobby Jones Golf Course renovation and named the B.J. and Jack Bandy Golf Instructional Center to honor his father, who taught him to play golf but passed away when Jack was only 22 years old. On December 2019, Mr. Bandy spoke eloquently at the dedication of the Center and hit the ceremonial tee shot. To say he hit it is an understatement. Using a borrowed driver, he smoked it on a straight-line with a perfect launch angle. Jack Bandy was an incredible gentleman who helped his community in so many ways. We are honored to have his name on our Instructional Center. Mr. Bandy passed away on March 29, 2020. He was 93 years old.

The Marcus Adaptive and Junior Golf Programs

The Grand Slam Academy is home to The Marcus Adaptive and Junior Golf Programs, made possible through the extraordinary generosity of The Marcus Foundation. Their support has helped sustain one of the country’s most inclusive golf development programs, providing opportunities for golfers of all ages and abilities.

Since opening, the Academy has introduced more than 5,000 junior golfers to the game through camps, clinics, leagues, and player development programs. In partnership with the Shepherd Center, we also host monthly adaptive golf clinics that demonstrate the transformative power of golf by making the game accessible to individuals with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities.

Bobby Jones Golf Course was proud to serve as the host site of the inaugural Adaptive Open, presented in partnership with the Georgia State Golf Association (GSGA). This milestone championship reflects our commitment to expanding opportunities for adaptive athletes and establishing Bobby Jones Golf Course as a leader in inclusive golf programming.

Today, the Grand Slam Academy continues to embody Bobby Jones Golf Course’s mission of making a difference through golf, ensuring the game remains welcoming and accessible for everyone.
