It takes practice. Lots and lots of practice. For Hays High senior Cash Hobson all of that practice finally payed off his final season of prep golf with career best numbers. That in turn has provided Hobson the opportunity to play golf on the collegiate level. Wednesday at Hays High, Hobson signed his letter of intent to golf for the Fort Hays State University Tigers. The name Hobson is a familiar one with the Tiger family. Cash’s sister also golfed for the Tigers and his dad is the head coach for the FHSU women’s basketball team, but also golfs. All three are highly competitive with one another on the course, but Cash said that his sister is probably the best golfer of the three.

Hobson has golfed on varsity for four consecutive years, but has seen his score take a dramatic improvement after lots of summer work. During his freshman year, Hobson averaged an 87.5, then 85.4 as a sophomore and 85.1 as a junior. His senior though has been a break out season. Currently averaging a 79.5, Hobson has finished in the top ten at five tournaments this season after only placing in the top ten twice in 30 events the previous three years.

Hobson and the rest of the Indian’s golf team will be in Garden City for the 4A regional golf meet on Monday, May 18th.
