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!

We hope you enjoy learning more about how three brothers from Idaho became one of #collegegolf's historically significant families

[College Golf Book @CGolfBook]

OTD: 3/21/1956
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

Back in 2024, I reached out to North Texas to ask after their NCAA championship 🏆s. Along w/ amazing photos, I was also put on a path of rediscovery

Mar 21st is an important anniversary for both the Hiskey family and #collegegolf, learn why tomorrow

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
