About the Tournament

June 17, 2020 was the inaugural Adam Miller Memorial Golf Tournament. It was held at Nob North Golf Course in Varnell, GA. The primary goal of the tournament was to raise money for Adam’s children's education. With the overwhelming support of the communities that he was connected to, a secondary goal was quickly set to donate part of the money raised to a cause in Adam's memory.

Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes in Memory of Phillip Herren

Phillip Herren was a hero among us. Serving the communities in Whitfield and Walker county, he spent 29 years as an undercover drug enforcement officer, patrol cop, canine officer, traffic enforcement/accident reconstructionist, SRT captain, sniper, training officer and a graduate of the FBI academy. Most importantly, he was a devoted husband to Rosanna, father to his son and daughter - Synjen and Logan, favorite Papa to his grandchildren - Hunter and Juno, and friend to so many. 

There wasn’t a Saturday during football season where the family would miss watching a game. Phillip loved football, having played both in high school and college. He was a huge UGA dawgs fan as well as a UTC Mocs fan, and once scheduled surgery on an off week so he wouldn’t miss a game! He loved hitting the road and following the Mocs and the careers of both Adam and Synjen, cheering them every step of the way. 

Phillip loved to help others and he was known for always saying “Holler if you need me!” - genuinely and unconditionally. He was proud to be a part of the Adam Miller Tournament crew and was often seen setting up tables, running errands and helping out where he could.

Tragically we lost Phillip after a 26 day battle with an aggressive cancer on November 15, 2023 surrounded by his loved ones. We hope you remember him for the exceptional man he was - proud to serve, protect and give back - as well as that wonderful laugh that would brighten anyone’s day.

"Right Side Pride"

Having the work ethic and preparation enabling you to do your best job so the person beside you can do his best job

"Right side pride" was a phrase heard many times coming from Adam during his playing days.  While it was mostly good natured ribbing of his teammates, Adam lived his life by this standard.  He pushed himself harder than any coach, teacher, or parent ever could.

We took this phrase and created an entity that would facilitate the golf tournament.  The charges from registration will be from Right Side Pride.
