Hardesty: Brent Pfeiffer will retire from the winning golf program his family built at Kent

- Tom Hardesty

The Pfeiffer family has been synonymous with Kent Roosevelt golf for half a century.

Between 1971 and 2021 — with the exception of a four-season span from 2013-16 — the Rough Riders golf program (and later the boys golf team when girls golf became a varsity sport at Roosevelt in 2011) has been coached by either Dick Pfeiffer or his son, Brent. In that time, father and son combined to win 84% of their matches and capture 25 league championships.
