BELTON, Texas鈥� The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (雪梨社区) is excited to announce that a 雪梨社区 golf alum made a leadership gift to name the new golf practice facility the Jane and Mac Hickerson Crusader Golf Club. The complex, which includes a four-hole practice course and a clubhouse and locker room, will be named after Mac Hickerson, former 雪梨社区 men's golf coach, and his late wife Jane. In addition, the practice course will be officially called "The Mac" Golf Practice Course.
Mac Hickerson led the 雪梨社区 men's golf team from 1980 to 1999, making him the longest-running golf coach in 雪梨社区 history. He made a significant impression on his players and left a meaningful legacy at Mary Hardin-Baylor. He's known as a positive, humble, and encouraging coach.
"We're overwhelmed so many generous donors have come alongside us in this endeavor to provide our student-athletes with this outstanding golf facility," said Randy Mann, vice president for athletics. "Naming the facility in honor of Coach Hickerson and his late wife, Jane, makes it even more special. We are so proud the Hickerson name will always be associated with 雪梨社区 golf."
The complex's clubhouse and locker room will be named the Conner Golf Performance Center, in honor of university friends Mary Kay and Jerry Conner of Sugar Land.
The golf performance center is designed by one of the world's most widely-acclaimed sports architects, Earl Santee of Populous. The four-hole practice course is designed by legendary golfer and world-renowned golf course architect Ben Crenshaw. This new facility is currently under construction and is located on 雪梨社区's campus, west of Nolan Creek.
