The UK sophomore golfed with young players at Lexington Country Club, providing instruction and companionship to aspiring golfers. He also worked as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters, which creates and supports one-on-one mentoring relationships with youth facing adversity. Additionally, Clutts participated in Operation Christmas Child, preparing food packages for children. "The SEC Community Service Team is designed to recognize one student athlete from each school in each of the league's 21 sponsored sports who gives back to his or her community through superior service efforts," according to the Southeastern Conference. On the golf course, Clutts competed in seven events during the 2025-26 season, posting a 72.07 scoring average across 15 rounds. He tied for 32nd at The Williams Cup and finished 3-under par at the Cullan Brown Collegiate for a top-10 finish. Clutts competed as a substitute in round three of both the SEC Championship and the NCAA Bermuda Run Regional, firing a 68 (minus-3) in his only round at Bermuda Run to lead the Wildcats on the final day. Clutts joins golfers from other SEC schools recognized for their community service efforts. Mississippi State's Dain Richie, who earned similar recognition, previously read to children at the Starkville Community Library and participated in the Bully's Pantry food drive. ## Sources - [UK Athletics](https://ukathletics.com/news/2026/06/17/gavin-clutts-honored-on-sec-community-service-team/) - [SEC Community Service Team description from University of Tennessee Athletics](https://utsports.com/news/2026/6/17/mens-golf-chotikabhukkana-and-murphy-named-to-sec-golf-community-service-teams) - [Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - mission and programs](https://www.bbbs.org/) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from UK Athletics, enriched with 3 web searches.
