In the 1930s, West Point, Mississippi was home to, among other things, a local dairy farm on the outskirts of town, complete with a large, wooden and newly-erected barn to serve the land. 80 years later in the same spot, a similarly quaint but far more technologically advanced facility stands in its place. Today, the area is home to Mississippi State’s golf programs and the new $2.4 million practice facility the teams just moved into as part of the nationally-renowned Old Waverly Golf Club across the street.
Never forgetting their roots, however, the new home of Bulldog golf has been nicknamed The Barn, built partially with reclaimed wood from the original dairy barn whose place it took in grasses of West point.
