Construction on the Hartman Golf Practice Facility, made possible by a lead gift from Wichitan Wink Hartman and several other donors, has begun at WSU's Braeburn Golf Course, WSU athletic director Eric Sexton reports.
The 1,700-square-foot facility, slated for completion in January, features four all-weather hitting bays that will be equipped with a state-of-the-art video swing analysis system. The facility will also include a synthetic putting and chipping surface and two retractable bay doors opening up to the Braeburn Driving Range.
“We are indebted to Wink Hartman, the numerous others who provided key financial support and to Braeburn management who have made this project possible,” Sexton says. Another key was work done by Dan Waller and Craig Nelson, of Conco Construction, who helped secure in-kind services and materials from additional donors.
