Daniel Hour begins his second season as the Bruins' director of operations after serving in the same capacity during the Bruins' national championship campaign last season.
Hour assumes a variety of duties pertaining to event management, tournament logistics and recruiting. His main duties are to serve as Tournament Director for the CordeValle Collegiate, manage the Bruins' equipment needs, track the players' academic progress and evaluate high school and junior golf prospects as directed by Coach Freeman. He will also travel and act as the designated coach at some of the Bruins' individual events.
For two years, Hour has successfully managed the CordeValle Collegiate, which the Bruins won for the second time in 2007. He also helped Coach Freeman land the nation's second-ranked recruiting class in 2007-08. The group included three AJGA All-Americans and one of Mexico's top amateur players. In addition, the Blue Team recorded a pair of podium finishes and boasted one individual medalist last season.
Two years ago Hour served as team manager helping the staff manage the CordeValle Collegiate and assuming other duties as assigned by the head coach.
Hour entered UCLA in the Fall of 2003 after earning four varsity letters in golf at Whitney HS in Cerritos. In 2001 he earned Whitney's Most Improved Player award, and as a senior in 2003 he served as the team's captain and won MVP and 2nd team all-league honors.
Hour describes his greatest high school thrill as winning a junior match with a birdie on the final hole after being five down.
Hour, 23, graduated from UCLA in June of 2007 with a degree in Economics. He is single and lives in West Los Angeles.
