WKU golf facility named after former head coach Phillip Hatchett

A new indoor practice facility for the WKU men’s and women’s golf programs opened at the beginning of October, and it will now be named the Phillip Hatchett Golf Facility following approval from the WKU Board of Regents at a special called meeting on Friday morning.

Regents voted to approve the philanthropic naming requests for the new golf facility, including naming the facility in honor of Hatchett, the former head coach of the WKU men’s golf team.

Hatchett was killed at the age of 55 after being struck by a car while riding his bike on June 17, 2018.
