While there is no arguing that the Bryant University golf program has been the benchmark for all other programs in the NE-10 and Jim Hallett remains the greatest example of this program's long-time remarkable string of success.

In fact, Hallet is the most nationally recognized athlete in Bryant history. He was the first and second ever conference Player of the Year, earning Medalist honors in 1982 and 1983 and he guided the program to the inaugural league title in 1982.

During his collegiate career, he became the most successful college golfer in New England history. He won a record-setting five consecutive New England Intercollegiate individual championships, in addition to winning the individual crown in virtually every major tournament in the Northeast, and his performance earned him four consecutive berths on the U.S. Golf Coaches Association Division 2 All-America team.

But what was more remarkable about Hallett's performance that year was for his accomplishments outside the NE-8.

In the summer of 1982, while still a Bryant student, he became the first New England golfer in 25 years to reach the semifinal round of the U.S. Amateur Tournament. Earlier that summer he had become the first player in 40 years to win both the Massachusetts and New England Amateur tournaments in the same year. The highlight of his amateur career came the following spring when he captured the Low Amateur award in the 1983 Masters tournament in Augusta, Ga.
