Former OU coach and Executive Director of the Golf Coaches Association of America Gregg Grost shared from his vast wealth of knowledge tonight with the TJGT players and parents. Only on the TJGT do you have access to 100’s of years of college coaching experience through events like this and the TJGT’s College Bound Membership.
If a junior player is serious about playing college golf at any level, then the TJGT is the place to be.
Grost, who coached at OU from 1986 to 2000, led the Sooners to a school-record seven tournament victories in 1989, including the NCAA Championship, and was named the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year.
He also led Oklahoma to the 1992 Big Eight Championship and was named conference coach of the year.
Grost began his coaching career in 1981 at Lamar University. He was named Southland Conference Coach of the Year in 1983 and 1985 while leading the Cardinals to league titles in 1982, ’83 and ’85. He was also named the Dave Williams National Coach of the Year in his final full season at Lamar.
Grost’s teams earned NCAA berths in 17 of his 20 seasons as a head coach. He coached 19 players who earned All-America honors a total of 33 times, as well as 2000 Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson Award winner Chris James.
Grost currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Golf Coaches Association of America.
