10 hours ago my latest piece for @5Count4 went live
In that time I've had more people either open that email or click the link below than were subscribed to this little #collegegolfhistory publication just one year ago. Still measuring things by the hundreds but this is so cool!
4/1 is the perfect day to kick off a new series by taking a long look at @WakeMGolf legend and 4x @GolfCoachesAssn 1st Team All-American GARY HALLBERG
It may surprise you to learn his 1979 NCAA🥇 came at the expense of a Walker Cup trip (no fooling)

Marion Hiskey, former member of North Texas St #NCAAGolf 🏆 teams, died in an AF plane crash
Months later, younger brother Jim led Houston to its first team🏆 and would win two more in 1957&58. Youngest brother "Babe" continued the Cougar dynasty into the 60s

Tomorrow is the anniversary of legendary Houston Coach Dave Williams' passing, making this a good time to reflect on what one of his players, Jim Hiskey, deemed "Golf's Most Successful Coach"
Hiskey was kind enough to record himself re-reading his 1966 Golf Digest article
