Not sure what to say?

I just was talking to my mom about you, I'm shocked to hear you are no longer with us, my condolences to the family, my dad thought highly of you, and loved you dearly. Joyce Dabbah

I'm still in shock even though it's been a few years now. Greatest golf professional ever on this planet. He motivated me with just his presence and a few words. Wish I could have been around him a lot longer.

Very sad to hear the news about the passing of Eldridge Miles. I was lucky enough to be employed a Bent Tree Country Club during Eldridge's last few years there 1983 and 1984. In short, he was my hero. I was just a wet behind the ears kid from Indiana when he hired me on the spot I'll never forget that day. It was so much fun to work for Eldridge he was such a great motivator. My condolences to Kathy and the Miles family. I know this will never be another Eldridge Miles in this world...

Incredible man. A legend!

He was what a Director of Golf should be. Good friend, menitor, & gentleman. He's traits aren't taught today. Legend!

Big"E" was Gleneagles C.C. When I first joined the country club back in 1989 he was there. He had lessons about life & people. He made you feel good. He had a Knack for running a Pro Shop like it should be run. He knew how to hustle. You could travel any where in the world and mention Dallas,Gleneagles C.C. and they knew Big "E".

Always a gentleman!

'Big E' - What a wonderful man - what a wonderful friend. Always helpful and always with a smile. You made my life better knowing you. I will miss you Big E. Godspeed my friend...

Big E loved people, he loved to teach golf, and valued his friendships! He was genuine when offering help to people and loved to help people to succeed! The world was a better place with E in it, he will be missed! Rest in Peace Eldridge!
