Kent State University Women’s Golf head coach Lisa Strom has been named the 2019 LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) National Coach of the Year.
The national award winners were selected by the LPGA T&CP membership’s Executive Committee from the pool of the section award winners voted on by officers of the six regional sections.
“I am honored to be named the LPGA T&CP National Coach of the Year,” said Strom. “It wouldn’t be possible without the mentors I have in my life, along with the incredibly talented student-athletes and clients I have been able to work alongside.”
Strom, who was named KSU Women’s Golf Coach in July, 2019, is just the third head coach in the 21-year history of the women’s golf program. She previously spent three years as the head coach at Texas State. In 2019 the sixth-ranked Flashes compiled four top-two finishes during the fall season, which included three-straight tournament wins.
Strom is continuing the winning tradition for Kent State’s Women’s Golf Team. Since 1999 the Kent State Women’s Golf Team has won every Mid-American Championship.
