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.
