I am inspired by the generosity of Dani and Ali Phyfer to honor their dad’s legacy by naming the Ben Phyfer Putt-Putt Golf Course at the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex. The support of this fosters meaningful connections among student-athletes and staff.
Dani and Ali Phyfer, daughters of the late Ben Phyfer, made a generous gift to name the Ben Phyfer Putt Putt Course at the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex. As Clemson’s youngest sisters to establish an endowment, their gift supports the Ben Phyfer Memorial Football Scholarship.
