One of the most competitive athletes of all time now has his own golf course for him to practice his skills. The 58-year-old has moved on from his successful career on the court and is now taking on the field.

Michael found his love for the sport in 1984 in his college at the University of Carolina, and it was a friend from one of Michael’s classes that got him hooked. Davis Love and Michael’s roommate Buzz Paterson would go to the Chapel Hill Country Club golf course and they practice their drives. Davis said Michael would drive them around in the golf cart at first, and hang around them while they played. Love would let Michael use his drivers to hit some balls, and more and more Michael started loving the game.
