History

A golf magazine once called the University of North Texas the “Notre Dame” of men’s golf -- for a very good reason. With 79 tournament championships, including four NCAA crowns and 27 conference titles to its credit, North Texas has earned international recognition in the sport.

In all, the Mean Green have competed in the NCAA Tournament 29 times as a team and placed in the top 10 on 16 of those occasions. Th e program’s long list of successes also includes seven Lone Star Conference titles, two Gulf Coast Conference championships, 13 Missouri Valley Conference titles, three Southland Conference championships, one Big West Conference title and a Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2003. In 2010 the Mean Green received its fi rst at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in the modern era.

North Texas sponsored its fi rst varsity golf team in 1939, but much of the squad’s history was written aft er Fred Cobb, a college golf pioneer, was named head coach in 1946. He saw his eff orts pay off just two years later when the Eagles went undefeated and untied in 11 matches and won three tournaments.

Cobb’s 1949 team garnered its fi rst of four consecutive NCAA championships in 1949. Th e many standouts who donned the green and white during that period included Billy Maxwell, Don January, L.M. Crannell Jr., Buster Reed, Palmer Lawrence, Gene Towry, Joe Conrad, Bill Turner, Stan Mosel, A.J. Triggs and Marion Hiskey.

During Cobb’s reign, the Mean Green fashioned a 72-10-3 record. Nine of the defeats, however, came in his fi rst two seasons at the helm.

Following Cobb’s death in 1955, Herb Ferrill took over the program. Among the team’s accomplishments during his 30 years as head coach were two runner-up fi nishes and two third-place fi nishes at the NCAA Championships and 13 Missouri Valley Conference titles.

Since the All-America team was created in 1958, a host of North Texas players have earned selection to the elite group, including Dick Whetzle, Dick Smith, Bobby Greenwood, Frank Luke, Don Wilson, Ron Folk, Jimmy Clayton, Jerry Greiner, Guy Collins, John Granger, Doug Higgins and Mike Mc- Caff rey. Many of them went on to enjoy professional careers.

Th e Mean Green’s conference championship in 2003 was the fi rst for North Texas as a member of the Sun Belt Conference but the hardware is just one of many in the trophy case.

In all, the Mean Green have competed in the NCAA Tournament 29 times as a team and placed in the top 10 on 16 of those occasions. Th e program’s long list of successes also includes seven Lone Star Conference titles, two Gulf Coast Conference championships, 13 Missouri Valley Conference titles, three Southland Conference champion- ships, one Big West Conference title and a Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2003.
