Having already each hit a hole-in-one, freshmen Scott Larson and Shealyn Hafer are off to a roaring start in their young collegiate golf careers at MSUB. MSUB SPORTS – Scott Larson will never forget the first swing of his college golf career. Stepping into the tee box on the 11th hole at Heritage Todd Creek Golf Club in Thornton, Colo., on Sept. 14, Montana State University Billings’ Larson wasn’t sure what to expect in his debut tournament. Larson has been competitively golfing since he was 14, but his ultimate goal of becoming a collegiate golfer was about to come true as he prepared to tee off. Gazing down the long, 192-yard par-3 hole, Larson reached for his trusty 6-iron as he had done countless times before. It was the same 6-iron he gripped as a junior at Glacier High School in his home town of Kalispell, Mont., when he connected perfectly on the par-3, sixth hole at Northern Pines Golf Club and watched his ball drop into the cup 192 yards away for a hole-in-one.
