Conner Kozak ... all grown up

He started golfing at Highlands when he was just a youngster as a member of the Kal Tire Junior Linkster Tour under the direction of Scott Harnett.

And he proved that short game skills are as important as the tee shot...then and now.

So it was with considerable home-course pride that I opened up the sports section in the Morning Star on April 30th and saw an adult Conner Kozak photographed--with his textbook golf swing--in a story reporting he had won the first AII banner for the UBC Thunderbirds since 2011.

A young Conner Kozak (pardon flash glare) from Highlands Wall of Fame for 2 holes-in-one here that day.

Conner shot a 3-under par round at the Men's Golf Championship in Bremerton, Washington.

Congratulations Conner.
We're all proud of your achievements at university.

"Attaboy, Conner," says Kia.
