The King retires (Aubry King, far right)

Congratulations to Aubrey King, long-time golf pro at Lake Tansi golf course. He will be retiring this year after 37 years at the helm in Lake Tansi Village. A special night of recognition is being planned.

Aubrey, a native of Mississippi, has been a mainstay in Crossville since about 1974 when he first arrived on the scene. He has always supported amateur golf and has been a strong advocate for junior golf his whole career.

He has also endeared himself to local players of all skill levels. He is down-to-earth and friendly and has been a great ambassador for Tansi for his entire career. In a county known as the golf capital of Tennessee, Aubrey is recognized as one of golf”s best teachers. He will be missed by all of us who have known him over the years. It won’t be the same at Tansi without him, but we wish him a great retirement and hope he can get back out and play more golf.
