Hall of Fame
The 1975 men’s golf team, coached by Jim Suttie, won the first OVC title in school history. It was the first of 12 won by the Colonels. This team won the EKU Invitational and the EKU Classic tourney titles. As a team, they recorded five top-10 tournament finishes for the year, including strong showings at Illinois State, Kentucky and Tennessee Tech. Team member Dave Ryan has won the USGA Senior Amateur championship and fellow Colonel Mark Wilson is a member of the Kentucky Golf Hall of Fame. After leaving EKU, Suttie became a nationally-renown top-50 golf instructor. He came to EKU as a PGA professional and was one of the first to use video and sequence cameras to improve his team’s performance.
