2009 Captain Buck Williams

The Committee is proud to introduce 2009 Pineapple Cup Captain Buck Williams. Captain Buck resides in Atlanta, GA, where he is known to teach youth golf camps and attend an occasional divinity class. During 2008, Captain Buck went 2-5-2 in four-ball play and 2-0-1 in singles competition.

He graduated from Wake Forest University in 2003. One might say that the highlight of Captain Buck’s competitive career occurred when he participated in the U.S. Amateur at Winged Foot. However, Buck more likely cites his victory at the prestigious Western Jr. Am. at the Honors Course in 2000. One day dreams to join his namesake NBA veteran Buck Williams in the NC Sports Hall of Fame.

The late Harvey Penick once said that a “good putter is a match for anyone.” He was no doubt thinking of Captain Buck. He is magic around the greens. This is attributable to the maniacal green complexes at fabled North Ridge C.C. Expect his putter to be up to the same antics this year as the captaincy pressure mounts throughout the weekend!

    "Expect his putter to be up to same antics".....destroying greens at Tidewater?

    I hope Tidewater doesn't remember Buck.

    The words "destroy" and "Tidewater" should be familiar to Captain Yates...

    I believe Captain Yates is the only captain with a Pineapple Cup title on his resume

    Since my team will likely have already clinched the Ryder Cup matches early on Sunday, I may not play the back 9 of my singles match so I can watch Buck v. Yates. We are going to be able to cut the pressure with a knife!
