July 18, 2022 | Men's Golf
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green State University men's golf team and Head Coach John Powers are excited to welcome transfer student-athlete Tom Bell. Coming from Hawkeye Community College, Bell brings a long list of accolades to the Bowling Green roster.
"Tom is a tremendous athlete and has taken big steps the last two years towards making an impact at the Division I level," said Head Coach John Powers. "We are thrilled to be adding a player with Tom's athletic background as well as someone who has two years of experience playing here in the United States. I can't wait for Tom to arrive and get to work for the upcoming season."
Bell was a key contributor to the Hawkeye roster over the past two seasons. In 2022 his exceptional play earned him meet champion at both the NIACC Invite and DMACC Invite. Bell helped the RedTails secure a 12th-place overall finish in this year's NJCAA Nationals Meet, where he shot a team-best 78,71,76,73 – 298. That score ensured him a tie for 13th overall in the tournament. Due to his outstanding performance over the course of the season he compiled a list of honorable awards such as, 2022 Male Athlete of the Year and NJCAA National All-American.
Bell was born in London, England and calls High Wycombe, England, his home. Before attending Junior College, he played Field Hockey, Tennis, and Soccer for the Royal Grammar School in Wycombe England. It was not until playing a round of golf with his granny and grandad that his passion for golf was revealed.
"They taught me so much about golf and life," said Bell about the influence his grandparents have on his success. He also mentioned his gratitude towards his mother for her hard-work and kindness to allow him to chase his dreams in the sport of golf. His career ambition is to play golf professionally.
Bell believes that BGSU is the place he can continue to grow stating, "I loved the look of the golf program and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Coach Powers who was a big part of my decision to come to BGSU. I am more than excited to be a Falcon!"
