GREENSBORO – Head coach Andy Hunt continues to work at growing his Hazen Union golf program in his third season, and Mountain View Country Club (MVCC) in Greensboro will once again step up its support this coming fall for the Hazen Union golf program by offering an unprecedented, discounted opportunity on playing privileges to Wildcat golfers.
Hunt and Mountain View have collaborated to approve a special rate for current and future members of the Hazen varsity golf program. As golf courses around the state ready to kick off their season, MVCC is offering a special playing permit to the Wildcat golf team, as well as those interested in joining the team. The permit is only $100 and is active for the entire year. The special permit does limit student athletes access to MVCC during the peak season (July 1 to August 14) to weekday afternoons and weekend evenings. Coach Hunt said he is grateful for the continued support from MVCC and is especially interested in helping the kids in the community learn to play the game of golf.
“Most high school golf teams are members of their host club, and this has been a unique problem for the Hazen Union golf team throughout the years. I have been able to get MVCC to approve a special permit to members of the Hazen Union golf team this season. It’s a fantastic opportunity for kids around the community from either Hazen or Craftsbury Academy (CA) to learn the game at both the middle school and high school level at a wonderful facility. Golf is a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime and MVCC giving our kids an opportunity to play and practice over the summer will help our program hit the ground running when competition starts up in the fall,” said Hunt.
The Wildcat high school golf program is made up of student athletes from both Hazen and CA, grade 9 to grade 12. The discounted $100 MVCC permit offer has been extended to 7th and 8th grade student athletes interested in joining the team at the middle school level.
“If your child is a golfer or interested in learning the game, having MVCC in Greensboro as our host club this season is a tremendous opportunity. Anyone who can help spread the word to interested parents and student athletes; I really appreciate it. We can’t thank MVCC enough and this is a big step in the right direction for our program,” added Hunt.
Student Athletes (grade 9 to grade 12) must fully commit to the Hazen Union golf team before July 1 to be eligible for the permit. For more details, contact Hazen Union athletic director Aaron Hill.
