Two prominent Utah Section PGA Professionals passed away this month. Both Tommy Williams and Gary White were much admired by their fellow professionals and the many people that they positively influenced over many years of service to the game of golf.
Gary White earned the respect of countless Southern Utah golfers as the Director of Golf at the Coral Canyons Golf Club in Washington, Utah for its first ten years of operations.

White was 64 years of age when he passed away of cancer.

It’s just that reporting to work at a golf facility reminds Cowan that he’s still in the game. That involvement occasionally became obscured when he worked in the city office building.

The quality of high school players has improved so much over the past few years, the difference between making an All-State team or not comes down to 1 stroke or even less.
