GWU Head Golf Coach Terry Shaffer, PGA Honored as Coach of the Year
Congratulations to Terry Shaffer, Head PGA Golf Coach at George Washington University for being named the 2012 Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year. Shaffer’s team won their first ever Atlantic 10 Conference Championship on April 27-28, 2012 at Heron Bay Golf Club in Coral Springs, Florida and set a new 36-hole team record (284-284 = 568).
San Francisco entered the West Regional as the No. 11 seed, so it was safe to say that the Dons’ opening-round, 7-under 273, was quite the surprise.
