Ethan Hawker

Ethan is only in his 12th year teaching math at Hartland High School but has spent his lifetime in Livingston County. As a Hartland graduate, Ethan earned All State honors as a golfer and went on to U of M to earn his teaching degree before coming back to his alma matter. In his 2nd year teaching, he created the JV golf team at Hartland High. Soon after, Ethan took over the Varsity position, which he maintained until the Fall of 2005 when he decided to pass the reigns to Nathan. This Spring marked Ethan's return to HS coaching as he took over the JV position at Hartland to work with Nathan.

The Livingston Junior Golf Tour is Nathan's and Ethan's attempt to raise the level of junior golf here in Livingston County even higher. Through organized competition on top notch courses, junior golfers will only get better and our HS programs will continue to maintain their excellence.
