Early Life
Howard Hill played baseball, basketball, football, and golf as a home town hero at his high school in Wilsonville Alabama. He later went on to marry his old English teacher from high school in 1922, later moving to Miami Florida to work at Hughes Tool. While maintaining his job he continued to play semi-pro baseball on the side. While his baseball career progressed, he decided to take up golf again, if it were not for his less than perfect putting ability, he would have excelled to be a professional golfer. Thankfully, he decided to revert to the old stand-by long bow to take up field shooting competitions.
