Warren County High School golf coach Keith Maxwell has been appointed as a state representative to the National Federation of High School Golf Coaches. Maxwell, who has coached golf for more than 16 years, was recommended for the position by the executive director of the TSSAA.

Coach Maxwell’s duties will include representing over 300 golf coaches in the state of Tennessee. He will promote the ideals of golf and help maintain the high standards of the NFHSGC, which include assisting high schools in promoting their golf programs by helping install practice drills and practice ideas from the national office, as well as helping make coaches aware of many avenues for golfing scholarships.

“I was approached in early November by the national director of the NFHSGC, Brad Rumble about joining the association,” Maxwell said. “After researching the organization and realizing how important the NFHSGC is, I was pleased to accept this position.

“This is truly a honor, and I hope that my efforts will be of service to all high schools and golf coaches across the state of Tennessee.”
