2015-16 NORTH TEXAS MEN'S GOLF FACT AND RECORDS BOOK 15 records 9 history

9 History

A golf magazine once called the University of North Texas the “Notre Dame” of men’s golf -- for a very good reason. With 83 tournament championships, including four NCAA crowns and 30 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 34 times as a team and placed in the top 10 on 16 of those occasions. The 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, three Sun Belt Conference championships, one Big West Conference title and now one Conference USA title. In 2011 the Mean Green received its first at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in the modern era. North Texas then captured consecutive conference titles in 2012 and 2013 for the first time since 1974-75.

North Texas sponsored its first varsity golf team in 1939, but much of the squad’s history was written after Fred Cobb, a college golf pioneer, was named head coach in 1946. He saw his efforts 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 first of four consecutive NCAA championships in 1949. The 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 first 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 finishes and two third-place finishes 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, Mike McCaffrey and Rodolfo Cazaubon in 2013. Many of them went on to enjoy professional careers.

The Mean Green’s conference championship in 2013 was the second straight conference title and the first time since 1974-75 that the Mean Green has won consecutive titles, but the hardware is just one of many in the trophy case.

In all, the Mean Green have competed in the NCAA Tournament 33 times as a team and placed in the top 10 on 16 of those occasions. The 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 three Sun Belt Conference Championships in 2003, 2012 and 2013.
