Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze logged 11 rounds of golf in the first three weeks of June, which is stunningly high for a SEC coach balancing recruiting and on-field responsibilities.

A piece of investigative journalism from AL(dot)com insider Matt Stahl took a look into the head coach’s golfing habits recently, and it turns out Freeze plays a whole lot more than one would think a college football head coach is actually able to do.

With a USGA GHIN handicap rating of 7.4 meaning he is shooting in the low 80s and high 70s on a regular basis, Freeze is much better than the average golfer. In order to maintain a handicap though in the GHIN system, the rounds are logged publicly, meaning Stahl was able to find out exactly how much the coach was playing.

According to the story, which was published on June 24, Freeze had played a total of 11 rounds in just those first three weeks of June alone.

GHIN only shows 20 rounds publicly at once Stahl wrote, so while an exact number cannot be placed on the amount of rounds he plays in a year, that threshold has been achieved and likely more than that.

Freeze has an extremely impressive golf game, but fans upon the release of the story understandably questioned why he is spending so much time on the golf course without having found much success on the field, and lately in recruiting either.

In reality, they likely are not connected at all, however that will not stop Auburn fans from asking some tough questions of their head coach.
