Coach “Bob” Budlove started his teaching and coaching career at Petersburg High School in 1956 and was involved with the baseball, basketball, football and golf programs. He also instituted the driver’s education program and was instrumental in the construction of the first driving range in the area for students to learn realistic driving scenarios. He is a dedicated member of the community and his church. Bob was involved in the creation and served as the tournament chairman of the Lee Park Invitational Golf Tournament. Coach Budlove was the Petersburg Crimson Wave golf coach for approximately 30 years. He was dedicated to promoting the game and was able to lead the golf team to two Central District Championships.
