About 12 years ago, a young Sean Carlon walked around UNM Championship Golf Course to watch golfers and also to see Brian Kortan, considered a family friend.
When it came time for the annual Tucker Intercollegiate, there were always some of the nation’s best golfers competing. Kortan, who had played for UNM, was beginning his coaching career as an assistant with the Lobos. He’s now the head coach at Texas A&M.
Carlon always had a strong love for the game as a child, yet he also was fascinated and infatuated by the thought of coaching.
When he played for the Lobos after winning three state prep titles at Hope Christian, Carlon observed Lobos coach Glen Millican and then-assistant Chris Massoletti, who is now an assistant for the men’s golf team at Cal.
