Help An Aspiring Golf Architect In Need's 100 Hole Quest For Better Developing Country Water!

Thanks to reader Mike for passing along Hayden Hunskor's passion for golf course design and clean water.

The high school freshman earned a $1,000 scholarship to be used towards the pursuit of a career in golf from Duke's COO John Moscrip and Cascade Golfer, but his other passion beyond golf course design is way more important.

In addition, Hayden volunteers as a board member at Lakeside with a Seattle-based non-profit, Water 1st, helping raise money to support families without access to clean water. In June, he will attempt to play 100 holes in a day at Sand Point Country Club as part of a fundraiser called “Golf for Water,” (click the link to learn more) through which his goal is to raise $5,000 to build a well in a developing country. (In fact, Hayden’s mother Angele was so appreciative of the honor, that she made a $500 donation to Golf for Water in the name of Duke’s Chowder House.)

And if that wasn’t enough, Hayden is also an aspiring golf architect. He’s already designed his first hole, an oceanside par-3, for a class project, and says his goal is to pursue a career in golf course design.

Well, Hayden attempted his 100 holes Monday but you can still donate here, as I gladly did.
