Dr. Stephen Haslund came to Texas Chiropractic College in July 1994, as Dean of Student Services. Right away he volunteered to help out with the TCC Annual Golf Tournament. Throughout several title changes including, Vice President of Student Affairs and then Vice President for Administrative Affairs, he remained the glue that held the Golf Tournament together. The reason for this was just his pure love of the game. With Dr. Haslund’s retirement last Spring, we renamed the former TCC Annual Golf Tournament to the Dr. Stephen Haslund Annual Golf Classic.
