    2d ago

    Tales from the Creek | Jay Overton - Men's Golf

    Jay Overton arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1971 and made a golf powerhouse even better.   A transfer from Duke, Jay helped lead the Camels to back-to-back top-five finishes in the NAIA national tournament, including a runner-up showing in 1973 when he was the individual co-champion.   Under the direction of coach Hargrove Davis, Jay and his teammates were part of a golf dynasty in Buies Creek – even before Keith Hills golf club was built in 1974 – and the athletic teams transitioned to the Division I ranks.    Those Campbell teams finished in the top five of the NAIA national championship seven times in a nine-year span from 1969 through 1977.   Following graduation, Jay began a career as golf professional in 1973 at Pinehurst Country Club and became head pro two years later.  He served more than three decades at Innisbrook Resort in Florida and is now Director of Golf at Puntacana Resort in the Dominican Republic.   Along the way, he competed on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Legends – and has played in a total of 24 majors - including a pair of US Open Championships.   Jay was inducted into the Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1988, and his travels recently brought him back to the Cape Fear Region for his grandson's high school graduation.   In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Jay Overton chats with Stan Cole about growing up in a golf family, his path to Campbell, his professional career, and more.   Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

    Tales from the Creek | Yvonne Cox-Holmes - Women's Golf

    Yvonne Cox arrived at Campbell in the fall of 1996 fresh off a West Virginia State amateur title and joined a golf program that would become one of the nation's best over the next four years. A relative late-starter in the game, Vonnie's all-around athleticism and competitive drive propelled her to a pair of top-10 finishes in the ASUN Championship and two NCAA regional appearances. After graduating in 2000, Vonnie qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship then embarked on a professional career. Over five seasons, she made 64 starts on the LPGA Developmental circuit – now known as the Epson Tour – and qualified for the 2004 U.S. Open. She entered the business field and took an extended break from the game but regained her passion for the sport. She has already won a pair of tournaments while producing a top-10 finish at the 2023 LPGA Senior Championship. Through the years, she has stayed in contact with her fellow Campbell Golf alumni and has returned to participate in the annual Battle for the Creek tournament in early November. Now based in Williamsburg, Virginia, Vonnie is a teaching pro in addition to competing on the Legends of the LPGA Tour. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Yvonne Cox-Holmes chats with Stan Cole about her family's influence on her sporting career, her path to Campbell, where she was offered scholarships in both golf and softball, her professional career and more.

    Tales from the Creek | Denise Ford Shipman - Women's Basketball

    Successful college student-athletes are often expert multitaskers – balancing a heavy academic course load with all of the duties expected of a scholarship athlete in and out of season. To say that Denise Ford Shipman did it all during her career at Campbell University would be a vast understatement. On the basketball court, she was a three-time all-conference performer and helped lead the team to 80 victories – including one in the 1989 Big South title game – during her career. Off the floor, she was voted the 1988 Homecoming Queen, was a cadet in the Reserve Officer's Training Corps and commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Army upon graduation in 1989. After serving in the Army, Denise earned multiple master's degrees and has devoted much of her professional career to public education. She was inducted in the Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011 and this fall, will be enshrined in the Guilford County Hall of Fame. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Denise Ford Shipman chats with Stan Cole about her path to Campbell, competing alongside three other Hall of Fame members, jumping out of airplanes, working in the education field and more. Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

    Tales from the Creek | Michael "Rudi" Rudisill - Football

    Michael Rudisill took an indirect path to Campbell University – but after he arrived in Harnett County in 2010, he made the place home for more than a decade.   A standout student-athlete and starting linebacker, "Rudi" became a leader on and off the football field and across campus over his four seasons with the Fighting Camels… so much so… that he stuck around to add master's degrees in education and divinity to his undergraduate degree in psychology.   Along the way, he served as football team chaplain, worked as an admissions counselor for the medical school – and truly found his calling and career.   Now "Rudi" works at Duke University in career services, helping the next generation of college students prepare to transition into the next phase of their life.   In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Michael Rudisill chats with Stan Cole about his path to Campbell, three degrees, how he strengthened his faith, Carolina Panthers football and more.   Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

    Matt Moot arrived at Campbell in the fall of 2007 – the latest in a long line of golf standouts to make their way from Western Pennsylvania to Buies Creek. Since graduating in 2011, Matt's path has led him back to his alma mater twice. A four-year standout, two-time NCAA regional participant, and later a professional on various tours, Matt eventually turned his attention to coaching and has mentored some of the best golfers ever to pass through Buies Creek. Along the way, he was coached by and coached under Hall of Famer John Crooks. He was named head coach of the Campbell men's program last summer, and now two of Matt's former players are competing on the PGA Tour.
