EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern head coach Pat Goss announced today (Sept. 13) the hiring of three-time collegiate All-American and former GB&I Walker Cup team member David Inglis as the Wildcats' assistant men's golf coach.
"We are very excited to hire David to be a part of our Northwestern golf program," Goss said. "His experience and success as a collegiate player and as a professional golfer will be extremely beneficial to our student-athletes. David also has a great understanding of what it takes to be successful at Northwestern, and we are looking forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly have."
Inglis succeeds Steve Bailey, who left Northwestern in July after five seasons to become the head coach at Marquette. Inglis, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, was a four-time champion of the Western Athletic Conference and three-time All-American from 2000-04 at Tulsa, also winning Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Athlete honors from the GCAA in 2003 and 2004. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration in 2004.
While at Tulsa, Inglis competed as an amateur for the victorious GB&I Walker Cup team in 2003. He was a member of the European Palmer Cup Teams in 2001 and 2003, winning with the squad in 2003. In 2000, he won the British Boys Amateur Championship, the largest boys event in Europe and equivalent to the U.S. Junior Championship.
Inglis turned professional in 2004, competing on the European Tour, the Challenge Tour and several Mini Tours.
Since October of 2005, Inglis has worked at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he served as a golf instructor, junior golf coach and tournament organizer. He coached and mentored multiple junior golfers with the goal of preparing them for college golf.
