Sugar Sweet And Sour
Rick Collins has been removed as director of golf at Big Sugar Golf Club and head golf professional Josh Alsip will double up on his duties at the nine-month-old Pea Ridge course.
We hear Collins and the group of Wal-Mart-related investors of Big Sugar did not see eye to eye. He is the son of the late former Springdale Country Club golf pro Dwight Collins, for whom the prestigious Dwight Collins Chick-A-Tee Invitational is named.
Alsip, 25, is a Bentonville native. The challenging 7,227-yard, par-72 layout opened in May of 2002.
