MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho's Big Sky championship golf teams took another step forward Thursday with the opening of the Jess and Kathleen Hall Vandal Golf Performance Center on Nez Perce Drive near the UI golf course.
Four years ago, through a series of chance meetings with women's coach Lisa Johnson and Director of Athletics Rob Spear, Jess Hall learned of the need for a practice facility – the type of indoor training ground featured on college campuses across the country. As Moscow natives – and even more so as current Alaska residents, the Halls know all about winter and the obstacles golfers face as they try to train during the winter months.
