GOLF

Ted Zahn of Aberdeen and Patty Coddington of Sioux Falls have been elected to the South Dakota Golf Association Hall of Fame.

Zahn, a native of Aberdeen, was the head professional at Moccasin Creek Country Club in Aberdeen from 1991 to 1997. In 1979, Zahn was the director of education with the National Golf Foundation, writing “Easy Way to Learn Golf,” an instructional booklet that is still in publication. In the early 1980s, Zahn started Executive Golf Outings with Yankton native Jim Ahern and PGA Tour professional David Edwards.

Zahn attended Northern State and was conference medalist three times. He was inducted into the school's hall of fame in 1993 and also served as golf coach for the Wolves, winning numerous conference titles and taking his team to one national championship appearance. Zahn is still an active member of the PGA of America and is a coach with The First Tee program at Moccasin Creek Country club.
