Forward Spin
At the Risk of being lost in the recent run of college coaching hires, officials at Tulane named John Thomas Horton their new women's golf coach last week. The announcement was the latest sign of the school's commitment to restart the women's golf program for the 2008-09 season. Under the guidance of Sue Bower, the Green Wave had become a top-25 team before Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans in 2006 and forced the school to suspend its men's and women's teams (the men's team has been eliminated). Horton was an assistant with the Georgia Southern men's team the past two seasons after an All-American career at Berry College and a stint playing professionally. "He really fits the model we have used here to hire head coaches," said Tulane athletic director Rick Dickson, "a former elite player with a passion for the game who has the innate ability to teach the next generation of collegiate golfers." Restoring what Bower, now an assistant athletic director, had established will be a challenge, but Horton has the enthusiasm needed to build a program essentially from scratch.
