Alex Carter
Alex began his third career at Mulligans in June 2009. His first career was in the newspaper business, first as a sports writer and later as a copy editor.

Thanks to Nancy, Alex is learning daily about golf equipment and is eager to help fellow golfers in any way. Alex has been playing golf for 45 years (the golf gods have yet to give him a hole-in-one) and spends his spare time on any course or with his two teenage sons.
Nick Fusco
Nick began his golf career at Mulligan's in July 2010. He was born in Upstate New York, in a town called Horseheads, where he played several sports including Varsity Golf for 2 years before graduating from Horseheads High School. He is currently a senior at James Madison University where he will graduate this May with a degree in Sports and Recreation Management and a minor in Business. Nick is an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and the Dallas Cowboys, and has a strong passion for the game of golf. He intends to pursue the sport of golf as a career in the near future.
Jay Lester
Jay is from Dublin, Virginia and in his fourth year at James Madison University. He is studying sports management and business in school and hopes to one day get into the golf business, as golf is definitely his passion. He has worked at a course almost every summer of his life, including a summer at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech in Radford, VA. While working there he was able to meet Mr. Dye and witness how awesome it is to see a golf course be completely renovated by one of the world's best architects. In his spare time he enjoys playing basketball, poker, and baseball, although the closest he can get to the diamond these days is men's softball leagues. He has been playing golf since he was about 6 years old and looks forward to playing the game the rest of his life.
