I happened to come across this picture and wanted to add it to the post in memory of Ott.
❤️In Memory of Ott Hightower❤️
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a true Lenoir Golf Club legend, Ott Hightower.
Ott was a cornerstone of the LGC family for over 50 years. He wasn't just a fixture around the clubhouse; he was a champion. As both a former Club Champion and Member-Guest Champion, his talent on the course was undeniable—and anyone who played with him knew to watch out for his legendary putting game.
But more than his skill on the greens, it was Ott’s character that left an undeniable mark on our club. When asking around the clubhouse, the sentiment is unanimous. As Eddie Clark perfectly put it: "You could not meet a nicer guy, and I've never heard him say a crossed word about anyone."
Ott embodied the very best of Lenoir Golf Club, and his presence will be deeply missed.
From everyone here at LGC, we send our thoughts, prayers, and deepest support to the Hightower family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Ott. 🕊️⛳️
