MCKENZIE, Tenn. (January 22, 2008) – The Bethel College men’s golf team has added Grant Griffin to the 2008-09 recruiting class. Griffin will graduate this spring from Liberty Technology School in Jackson, Tenn. He is the son of Carey and Debbie Griffin.

Although Liberty does not have a golf team, Griffin qualified as an individual three times on the Regional level. He also qualified for the state tournament last fall. Griffin credits his junior golf work during the summer months for his success in school competitions. He is a 3.9 handicap.

“Its my hope that Grant will strengthen the middle of our line up,” said Bethel College Head Men’s Golf Coach Dr. Jerry Wilcoxson. “And that he will develop over the next couple of years and be a constant for us. His experience in junior golf is a plus and has prepared him for college golf.”

Grant is also a sharp shooter in another arena as he participated on the Crusader trap shooting team for two years. He also took part in the academic decathlon and was a member of Skills USA for tech students.

Bethel was the 2007 TranSouth Conference men’s golf tournament champions and participates in the NAIA.
