Celebrating Dr. Wilson’s Retirement and His Impact on My Career
Congratulations to Dr. Wilson on his early retirement from the College of Golf. I kind of thought it was going to last for another 10 years the way things were going. I’ve known Dr. Wilson since 1996, which is nearly 28 years. There are many stories I could share, but I’ll tell you a couple that are related to my career and his influence on it.
Back in the early 2000s, Dr. Wilson was working on his PhD and encouraged me to get my MBA or a master’s degree in something. Initially, I resisted because I had three little kids and a full-time job. He convinced me to do it, and despite the tough times and many nights of frustration, I ended up enjoying the program. I’m happy I completed my master’s in business, thanks to his persistent advice.
A couple of years ago, he suggested I pursue a PhD. Again, I was reluctant, but he convinced me. Now, I’m two classes away from entering the dissertation phase of my PhD. His advice, which I sometimes resisted at first, has been invaluable and has significantly impacted my career.
Dr. Wilson has always been like a big brother, offering guidance that, although challenging at times, has proven beneficial in the long run. His retirement will undoubtedly be filled with golf, including Hickory golf, and I look forward to a rematch to win back some money. Wishing you the best in your retirement, Dr. Wilson. I know you’re not going away, so we’ll see you soon. Thanks.
