Meet the Team

  • Cliff Rigsby

    Cliff and his wife Amanda are the new owners as of fall 2022. Cliff has been an avid golfer for quite some time, swinging his first club ever here at Mark’s Par Three in 1993 with his father at the age of 9. He has traveled the United States and golfed many of the big courses such as Pebble Beach and Wolf Creek to name a couple. His wife Amanda is an RN and enjoys traveling and spending time with her family. Amanda’s family owns a local flower shop (Rocky’s) and Cliff’s family started a local winery that recently changed hands. Both Cliff and Amanda are very family oriented and plan to raise their daughter, Reagan, here on the course as Mark LaGrange raised his children here over the years. They both have a vision for the future of the course and its place in the community for the long term. They are excited to keep the course going into the next generation and look forward to many years here at Mark’s Par Three. Keep an eye out for their daughter on the course, she’s always asking for a high five!

  • Tim Moore

    Tim grew up locally as a farmer and spent his many years in the workforce at Duke Energy. Tim has since retired and spends a lot time being Kenny’s right hand man and the courses maintenance technician. If Kenny can break it, Tim can fix it! Tim’s wealth of knowledge on the farm has made him a valuable asset to the course and making sure the equipment stays running and in good condition. When we close the course for the winter and re-open it in spring, Tim is always there to assist with irrigation and equipment issues. If you see Tim around, stop and shake his hand and tell him thanks for his work building the bridges and that beautiful deck you see at the clubhouse. Those are just a couple of major impacts Tim has had on our upgrades to the course.

  • Dan Lindsey

    Dan has been an avid golfer and bowler in the community for many of years. Not only does he spend time on Saturday mornings greeting our customers and working the front desk. You can catch him at your local dive bars playing in a rock band. Dan plays bass, guitar, a little bit of drums and rocks out with the best of them. He has been a rocker for many of years and we hope one day he gets a spot in the Terre Haute Music Hall of Fame. The owners have been lifetime friends with Dan and they have grown up together and played many of rounds of golf together. Dan also offers limited lessons in his free time. If you’ve got the “yipps”, ask Dan for some help. Come in and see Dan on Saturday mornings and give him a good ole fist bump and ask him where he plays next.

  • Timmy Wright

    Timmy is a lifetime golfer of Mark’s Par Three. He grew up with the LaGrange family here on the course. Timmy also earned a gold metal in golf at Terre Haute North in high school and has continued to dedicate his free time to the sport. Timmy works in the clubhouse and preps carts for customers. Come in and say hi to Timmy!

  • Dave Lesko

    Dave has golfed for many of years and used to live in the subdivision that lines the course with his wife Susan. Dave moved down near Spencer, Indiana for a while and had a large role in the progression of the municipal courses in the area. He had experience in concessions and other sporting activity management in their community as well. He enjoys watching local sports and regularly attends local basketball games with Kenny. Dave has had a hole-in-one here at Mark’s in 2022 and he continues to seek his next one. Come see Dave in the clubhouse and have a coke with him while you watch golf on the new TVs.

  • Kenny Walsh

    Kenny has been the course superintendent for over 25 years. He was Mark LaGrange’s right hand man for many years and has poured many of hours, blood, sweat and tears into this course. He treats the facility as his own and takes tremendous pride in his work. Kenny has committed to help the new owners make some improvements to the course and plans to stick around for a few more years. Kenny and his wife Denise live in the Super’s Quarters located next to the clubhouse. When he’s not maintaining the course, you can catch him walking his dog or playing with his 2 grandson’s. If you see him on the mower, give him a Forest Gump wave!
