Although Shaw’s sixth season with the Wildcats was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he and friends of the ACU golf program all witnessed a dream come true with the February 2020 opening of the Byron Nelson Clubhouse.
Located along Judge Ely Boulevard, the clubhouse overlooks ACU's short-game practice venue, 'The Jim,' which was completed during the fall of 2018, and features the Oliver Family Training Room complete with swing-simulation technology (McGlothlin Simulator Bay), driving range and snack station.
There's also a full-size living area complete with flat-screen HDTV, two offices, men's and women's locker rooms, the College Golf Fellowship Conference Room, a kitchen, and a garage for the team's Sprinter van.
During the same week of clubhouse’s grand opening, Shaw’s Wildcats won the La Tour Intercollegiate (Mathews, La.) in dominant fashion. Four Wildcats finished among the top 15 competitors and junior Alex Clouse carded a 9-under 63 in the third round to win the individual title at 14-under 202.
ACU golf uses Trackman, SwingCatalyst, SAM Puttlab, and other technologies to help develop our students. These tools are very helpful in improving our players games. The players are also put under tournament-like pressure situations to help get ready.
