TMP-Marian senior Max Megaffin will follow in the footsteps of his older brother and play golf at Fort Hays State University.

Max signed his letter of intent Tuesday afternoon to continue his education and play golf next season at FHSU.

He said his older brother Kade was the reason he took up golf and said he probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for his brother.

“He was really my first inspiration to play golf,” and Max said “I’m looking forward to playing with him again.”

Kade Megaffin walked on to the golf team this season as a freshman at FHSU.

TMP golf coach Bryan VonFeldt was a member of the Fort Hays golf team from 2002 to 2006 and said he believes committing to Fort Hays will take some pressure off of Max as he finishes out the high school season.

Last year Max finished 20th at the 3A state tournament at Cherry Oaks Golf Course in Cheney. The Monarchs finished 5th as a team.

Max plans to major in finance at Fort Hays State.
