Mitchell Fernandez’s time as a golfer at St. Clair County Community College led to multiple opportunities at some of the nation’s most prestigious courses.
Fernandez was a student at SC4 from 2009-12 and a national qualifier for the Skippers golf team. He took the Winter 2011 semester off while playing hockey for the Port Huron Fighting Falcons of the North American Hockey League, before returning to the college.
After leaving SC4, Fernandez transferred to California University of Pennsylvania, and played hockey for two more years. From there, he turned his attention back to golf. He worked at Inverness Club in Toledo for two years and served as the Assistant Head Professional at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania for two and a half years.
Fernandez currently works with Henerson Brothers Insurance in Pittsburgh.
“(SC4) was a steppingstone in athletics and academically to move onto a different institution,” Fernandez said. “It set the foundation for my life, really. It’s my hometown school, and I’ll never forget where I came from. Instead of going to a huge university right away, I feel like it was a great gateway to my future.”
