A milestone on the fairway
Nick Saban hosted the 20th annual Nick’s Kids Foundation Golf Tournament at the Old Overton Club in Vestavia Hills, drawing a crowd that included former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and several members of the Alabama football staff.
The event served as a reminder of the deep ties between the foundation and the University of Alabama, with Saban taking the opportunity to thank the school and its football program for their ongoing support.
Among those seen entering the club were athletics director Greg Byrne, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and quarterbacks coach Bryan Ellis, underscoring the breadth of the program’s involvement.
When asked which Alabama player he would most like to join him on the course, Saban declined to single out any individual, noting the difficulty of choosing among many talented teammates.
His remarks highlighted the appreciation he feels for the university’s role in making the tournament possible, a sentiment that resonates with the foundation’s mission to aid children across the state.
