Jeff Klauk – Florida Southern College (Men’s Golf)
Jeff Klauk remains one of the most prolific male golfers ever to compete at Florida Southern College. A four-time All-American, Klauk is one of just five student-athletes to have been selected SSC Athlete of the Year in the same sport three different times, earning SSC men’s golfer of the year accolades as a sophomore, junior and senior. Behind Klauk’s play, the Mocs became the only program to claim three consecutive NCAA Division II Championships, which they won in 1998, 1999 and 2000. At the NCAA Championships, Klauk claimed individual runner-up honors as a junior, before going on to capture medalist honors as a senior. Later that year, Klauk was named Division II Golfer of the Year by two different organizations and he was also selected Florida Southern and Sunshine State Conference male athlete of the year. He concluded his Florida Southern career as the College’s all-time leader in stroke average (70.71). Currently, Klauk competes professionally on the Nationwide Tour. Klauk becomes the fifth men’s golfer from Florida Southern to join former Moccasin head coach Charley Matlock in the SSC Hall of Fame. He also joins his wife, former Florida Southern women’s golfer Shanna Nagy Klauk, a member of last year’s SSC Hall of Fame class.
