AUSTIN, Texas — It has been said often that youth is wasted on the young, but Texas freshman golfers Cole Hammer, and twins Parker and Pierceson Coody, are doing their darnedest to make sure their first season on the Forty Acres produces a maximum return.

To wit: the three golfers have been among the leaders for this season’s men’s golf squad, a group that carries a No. 6 national ranking into play in the NCAA Austin Regional, which will be contested Monday-Wednesday as the University of Texas Golf Club.
