North Greenville University

Chad Poole made a significant impact on the golf team at North Greenville University, formerly North Greenville College, leading to
numerous tournament victories. Chad became team captain in his sophomore year and earned All-Tournament Team honors at the NGC SpringInvitational and was the medalist at the Cumberland College Invitational during his junior year. The team also won the conference championship that year and qualified for the NAIA Golf National Championship in 1997. Over his four years, Chad helped the team win multiple tournaments and reach the national championship. After graduating, he pursued a career as a professional golfer and joined the PGA. Tragically, Chad was diagnosed with ALS at 27 and passed away in 2016 at 40. He is survived by his wife Erin and their two children, Maggie and Nick.
