Colorado Golf Community Loses A Champion: Michael Lee From School Of Mines Dies From COVID-19

By Eric Christensen, CBS Denver:

(CBS4) – When the Colorado School Of Mines golf team tees off this spring, they will be carrying brand new golf bags that do more than carry their clubs. They will carry on the legacy of former Mines All-American Michael Lee.

“He was a team captain, a great player, such a big part of our program and it’s really just a small thing we can do to honor him while we’re playing,” said Mines golf coach Tyler Kimball.

Lee came to Mines from Greeley where he was a promising junior golfer. It didn’t take long for Michael to fit right in with the nationally ranked Orediggers.
