Randy grew up in Sterling City, Texas where he graduated in 1969 and then attended Angelo State University. He graduated in 1973 and began coaching at Miles, Texas. Over the next 20 years he would coach several different sports in Hermleigh, Three Way, Guthrie, Higgins, Rocksprings, and Grady ISD. He loved all sports but he truly loved golf!!
