Barry Hawkins has been named the first golf coach at Byron Nelson High School and the move into his new position will not require a lot of travel.

Hawkins was the assistant golf coach at Northwest High School last year, but with Byron Nelson being a first-year program and with the school being named after a golfing legend, Hawkins said the bar is set pretty high.

"This is a great opportunity to start something new — to start new traditions and start from scratch," Hawkins said.

Hawkins coached basketball for the bulk of his 17-year tenure at Northwest High School, but has been an assistant golf coach the last three years to Mark Wendel.

Hawkins said he made the switch because he felt that he needed a change of pace.

"There comes a point in time in your life where you feel that you have accomplished the things you wanted to accomplish, and you want to do something different," Hawkins said. "Coach Wendel and I have become very good friends. He is one of my best friends, and we had talked about an opportunity to become a full-time golf coach. It was just the right timing."

Hawkins will be leaving a team that featured two of the areas stronger players last season in Jordan Hoffman and Julia DaneshFar, and Hawkins said he anticipates some growing pains at his new school.

"I’m looking forward to the challenge," Hawkins said. "There is no experience to fall back on, and we are starting from scratch. I think our greatest challenge will be establishing leadership and developing some experience."

Hawkins said a successful first season in his mind is would entail a couple of things.

"We’re not going to worry about tournament wins or chances to go to regionals or state," Hawkins said. "We want to set our goals where we can attain some things.

"I think developing a program that is respectable, that when people talk about Byron Nelson, they talk about the golf program with integrity and respect and say that they carry themselves very well on and off the golf course, would be good for us."
