“Go play golf for the next four years? Well … only if you insist.”
Paperwork.
Austin Fields has always been big time. Now it’s just official.
The Coupeville High School senior, a two-time qualifier for the state golf tournament who will make a run at a third bid this spring, has been officially accepted to New Mexico State University’s PGA golf management course.
Son of a professional golfer (Mike Fields) and older brother to the 8th best female golfer in 1A last season (Christine Fields), Austin swings a mean stick on the course. Now he’ll take his love of golf inside the classroom, as well.
“Yes sir. It has been a dream of mine since I started playing the game of golf,” Fields said. “Now that it is a reality, hopefully I can become just as good of a golf professional as my dad.”
New Mexico State, which in 1987 became the third university to be endorsed by the Professional Golfers Association of America, boasts an impressive golf course that has hosted NCAA championships, Callaway PGA Junior Series tournaments, USGA and Section PGA Championships.
The PGA management course is a 4½-year program which leads to a Bachelor in Business Administration with a major in Marketing and a specialization in Golf Management.
Plus, you spend a lot of class time on the course. So you got that going for you, which is nice.
