Ivy Golf Institute: Summer Boys Ivy Camp 2023

In October 2005, Rich Parker was promoted to head coach of the Dartmouth men’s golf team after serving as interim coach during the 2005 fall season. Parker is a former tour pro. Parker’s players have earned a total of 15 All-Ivy honors during his stint — seven on the first team and eight more on the second team — including Peter Williamson ’12 who won three individual titles and made the first team all four years. Three times his squad has finished as high as second at the Ivy League Championship, and twice in the past four completed seasons. While the 2020 spring was lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team finished tied for fourth at the Ivy League Championship with two golfers — Jason Liu ’21 and classmate Sam Ohno — make the all-conference second team by tying for seventh at the championship. In 2018, the Big Green posted a terrific final round with a 3-over 283 thanks to 22 birdies, vaulting past four teams to finish as the runner-up to Yale. Ian Kelsey ’18 capped his career by earning a spot on the All-Ivy League First Team for the second time by virtue of his tie for fifth in the individual standings.

Matt Baughan has completed 20 seasons as the head men's golf coach at Cornell and the head golf professional at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. Under his direction, the Big Red tied a program record with a second-place finish at the 2017 Ivy League Championships while winning individual medalist honors for a second straight year. Baughan helped guide Mike Graboyes '18 to a wire-to-wire individual victory, just one year after Luke Graboyes '17 win in 2016. It marked the first time the Big Red has had consecutive individual winners at the event, and the first single medalist since 1986. As a team, Cornell finished a program-best second for a third time, with two of those occasions coming under Baughan's direction (the other was in 2005). Mike Graboyes is Cornell's first three-time All-Ivy League honoree, and six of the program's 10 first-teamers have come in Baughan's tenure.
