Gill
said the City is excited to be able to find a person
with the skills, qualifications and experience that Hayn
will bring to the position, “Carin has been a member of
the PGA for 25 years and has achieved the class “A”
status as a golf professional. Carin is from Pierre and
is an example of a home town person that pursued her
dream of becoming a professional golfer and playing on
the PGA tour. She has great experience, not only as a
player, but as a manager of golf operations having
extensive experience in hosting events such as the
annual San Juan Open in New Mexico which fields over 60
professionals and 180 amateurs with the largest purse in
the state of New Mexico.” said Gill.
Hayn,
being a Pierre native, learned the game of golf at
Hillsview and is well aware of the evolution of the
course. Hayn is also a current member of the Hillsview
Golf course advisory board which makes her well aware of
the challenges ahead in recovering from the 2011 flood.
According to the Commissioner of Parks and Recreation
Jeanne Goodman, who was a member of the interview and
selection team, Hayn is the right person for the job to
re-establish the golfing community to Hillsview, “Carin
knows Pierre and knows Hillsview. She has a good
relationship with our staff and golf superintendent Dean
Heymans. I feel it is important we re-establish
Hillsview and the game of golf with those that golf. We
have a lot of marketing and communications to
re-establish since the course was shut down by the flood
and I have great confidence in Carin being able to do
that.” said Goodman.
