In the spirit of helping, The Country Club of North Carolina has made the lead donation in a funding campaign for a junior golfer from Ukraine named Mykhailo "Misha" Golod, who is coming to the United States.

It is sort of unbelievable, the boy says, the invasion of his country and the siege that threatens his city, but the constant shower of artillery, the deserted streets and crowded undergrounds, the sounds he does not want to discuss yet cannot forget … it is very, very real.
