The late Lewis W. Oehmig (1916-2002) of Chattanooga was well known as an alumnus of the University, as a champion golfer, and as a respected citizen of his city. He was Captain of the Golf Team as a student, when he began winning tournaments – a habit which he continued until 1985. He was given the Bob Jones Award for distinguished sportsmanship in golf in 1994, the highest award given by the United States Golf Association.
The Oehmig Short Game Center is to be located between holes one, two and three at the Birdwood Golf Course. It will include a large putting area and four chipping/pitching/target greens from 165 yards and in.
