Ralph Terrell (Bo) Jackson passed away on January 23rd. Affectionately know as “The Original Bo Jackson” he was born in Rock Hill, SC on August 5th 1931. The youngest of 4 boys, he was also a naval veteran who served during the Korean War as well as on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier in 1954.

He was an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing and hunting. He loved golf and ran his own golf club business. Upon meeting St. Peter at the pearly gates his only question would be; “Where’s the golf shop?”

Bo was such a warm and funny man. He was a very kind and generous person who shared his wealth of knowledge about golf, even to us “duffers”. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. He’ll be missed.
