Confirmed: Ohio State names new golf coach

[fourteenandoh]

Donnie Darr will be named the new head coach of the Buckeye golf team. He was the assistant coach at the top ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, and played his college golf at Kent. I'm expecting big things in the future for Ohio State golf.

This is an excellent hire. The team said Oklahoma State were always pretty good and with our facilities that should help him get some quality recruits. We have been down for a while because things were getting sort of stale.

Coach Brown kinda dug himself into a hole. He was losing some quality recruits b/c of he had a bit of a reputation. That's over now though. Like I said above, I expect good things in the future.

I don't follow college golf, but, how the fuck does Oklahoma State of all places have the top golf team?

I'm so Happy for Donnie. I went to River View High School and Coshocton (where Donnie went) was one of our rivals. One of my best friends from Coshocton Trent Maxwell (Head Pro at Windmill Lakes in Ravenna now) had a brother (Kelly Maxwell) who set many records of which Donnie broke. Donnie had a great career at Kent as well, and I'm glad to see him coming home to the Buckeye State. GO BUCKS!!!

Golf coaches don't bring in the kind of bread FB and BB coaches do.

This guy could save a fortune with RIT.
