Georgia’s golf community is mourning the loss of one of its greats. Charlie Harrison, an Atlanta native and standout amateur golfer, passed away this week following complications from a recent fall.
A member of the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, Harrison was widely admired not only for his skill on the course but for the grace and sportsmanship with which he played the game. Known for his smooth swing and fierce competitive spirit, Harrison enjoyed a decorated amateur career, earning victories across state and national competitions and representing Georgia with pride.
But beyond the trophies, it was Charlie’s love for the game and the stories that came with it that drew in so many people to him. Whether recalling memorable practice rounds, including one with Ben Hogan at The Masters, or sharing his stories and lessons that came with them, Harrison had a way of bringing golf’s rich history to life.
He will be remembered as a champion, a storyteller, and a true gentleman of the game.
