EmailIndiana State will begin the 2010-11 season under the direction of newly-hired head coach Greg Towne. Towne was hired just three weeks after former head coach Mike Whitson resigned to take the head coaching job at Eastern Kentucky, his alma mater.
Towne is a graduate of Wichita State University, and spent 22 years playing professionally. He was a member of the Nationwide Tour for five years, where he notched 20 top-25 finishes. Towne also qualified for the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club.
Towne has extensive experience as a teaching professional, working with tour pros for 10 years. He was the head instructor at Rabito Golf from 2001-09.
“Greg Towne brings a wealth of teaching and playing experience to our program,” said Ron Prettyman, Indiana State Director of Athletics. “He is a Midwest native and a product of one of our Missouri Valley Conference schools. He is inheriting a quality group of young ladies that excel in the classroom and on the golf course. Coach Towne is a nice addition to the Sycamore head coaching family.”
Indiana State finished the 2009-10 season ranked No. 147 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings and open the fall on Sept. 11-12 at the Redbird Invitational in Normal, Ill.
