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

to 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.
