WKU golf dedicates new indoor facility to former head coach Phillip Hatchett, speeches honor his ‘impact’

A new indoor golf facility that will be utilized by the WKU men’s and women’s golf teams was dedicated to former WKU men’s golf head coach Phillip Hatchett on Friday evening.

The newly minted Phillip Hatchett Golf Facility, located at 654 Campbell Lane on South Campus, hosted an official opening event that saw WKU athletic director Todd Stewart, women’s golf head coach Adam Gary, men’s golf head coach Chan Metts and two current WKU student-athletes give brief remarks about Hatchett's life and legacy prior to a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Over 100 supporters and donors were on hand at the facility, and many of them took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a self-guided tour once the dedication ceremony was complete.
