M
ax Kollin admits he didn’t
have the kind of career he
thought he’d have with the
Indiana University men’s golf team.
“I had my ups and downs,” he said.
“I played well at times, but not up to
my expectations. But I wouldn’t change
anything. These have been the best four
years of my life. I’ve loved every second.”
The 22-year-old North Farmington
High School graduate played 88 rounds
for the Hoosiers, averaging 75.65 per
round.
His days as a college golfer ended
last month at the Big Ten tourna-
ment at Victoria National Golf Club in
Newburgh, Ind. He finished his final
round with back-to-back birdies, but
shot 16-over-par 78-76-78—232 for the
tourney, tying for 55th place.
So it’s on to the next stage of his life,
and it most likely will involve golf.
He’ll graduate this month with a
degree in telecommunications, and he
wants to become involved in the running
of professional golf tournaments. He’s
open to any possibility ... PGA, LPGA or
Champions Tour.
“I eventually want to be a tournament
director,” he said. “In the meantime, I
can help with sponsorship deals and use
my social and marketing skills.”
After playing in too many golf tourna-
ments to count, Kollin says he knows
what a well-run tournament looks like.
“It’s attention to detail,” he said. “One
important aspect is making the players
feel wanted and welcome.”
Kollin came to Indiana with impres-
sive playing credentials that included
winning the 2011 Michigan High School
Athletic Association Division 1 individ-
ual boys golf state championship, being
ranked No. 14 in the Class of 2012 by
Golfweek magazine and at age 15 becom-
ing the youngest club champion at Twin
Beach Country Club in West Bloomfield.
He also made a name for himself on
the junior golf circuit.
The jump from high school to
Division I college golf was a steep one,
which came as no surprise.
“In high school, it seemed like there
was a group of very good players and
a group that wasn’t at that level,” Kollin
said. “In college, everyone is very good.”
TEE UP FOR B’NAI B’RITH

NOT LION DOWN
Newly signed offensive lineman Geoff
Schwartz is the first Jewish player on the
Detroit Lions roster since offensive line-
man Justin Boren was on the practice
squad in 2012.
Boren played college football at
Michigan and Ohio State. The 6-foot-3,
315-pound Pickerington, Ohio, native
was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as
an undrafted free agent in 2011, was
with the Lions in 2012 and went to the
Denver Broncos in 2013. He’s still with
the Broncos.
He celebrated his 28th birthday April
28.
