Now entering his 11th season as the head coach of Bucknell's women's golf team, Kevin Jamieson has continued to elevate the young program to one of the region's best. Only the second coach in the history of the Bucknell women's golf program, Jamieson is currently on a quest to become a PGA Professional, with a long-term goal to be a golf professional in a teaching and golf course management area. Coaching the Bison women's golf team has been a new challenge for Jamieson, but one that has been extraordinarily fulfilling. Jamieson has overseen Bucknell's transition into the Big South Conference, and he has upgraded the team's schedule significantly in recent years. In their first two Big South Championship appearances, the Bison finished a solid sixth in a nine-team field, and in 2005 and 2006 the team moved up to fifth-place finishes with record-setting performances. In the spring of 2008, Bucknell finished a best-ever fourth at the Big South Championship, and the Bison were in the race for a top-four finish again in 2010 before a tough final round. Under Jamieson's watch, the Bison have consistently lowered their team and individual scoring records. Both marks fell in the spring of 2010, as Minjoo Lee shot a school-record 2-under-par 70 and the team produced a best-ever 303 at the Big South Championship. Prior to the 2000-01 season, Jamieson succeeded Brad Tufts, who retired from Bucknell after more than 41 years of service to the University. In addition to his duties as coach of the women's golf team, Jamieson also serves as assistant golf professional at the Bucknell Golf Club. Prior to his stint at the BGC, Jamieson was the assistant pro at Williamsport Country Club under Professional Tom Cioffi. Jamieson also picked up golf experience in the state of Florida, where he was the second assistant professional at Sanctuary Golf Club on Sanibel Island and the assistant pro at the Country Club of Naples. Jamieson is a 1996 graduate of Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College), where he studied communications with an emphasis in interpersonal communication and a background in human resources. While at Western Maryland he captained the golf team from 1993 to 1996. In the summer of 1992, he caddied for former professional Nicole Danforth on the Futures Tour. His father, Sid, coached the Bucknell men's lacrosse team from the program's inception in 1968 until his retirement after the 2005 season. Kevin, his wife, Courtney, and their infant son, Jet, reside in Lewisburg. |
