Hayden was not an accomplished junior golfer and the reason took a chance on him was because the head pro at Tupelo CC played for the current Missouri coach at Austin Peay and convinced him to take a shot. What no one, except those of us that know him personally, didn't know was that Hayden is a gifted athlete and student that takes pride in out working everyone else.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know jack shit about the PGM program or even golf for that matter. However, it just seems like common sense to me that there is overlap in their fields that inevitably cross paths. If we have a bunch of aspiring future Club leaders our team golf courses should be some of the best damn kept courses around. They should be working with the golf team and coaches to see what needs to be worked on and improved at all times. Creating relationships that could pay dividends later in their careers. Many of those players may be looking for a club to join one day.
