Coach Lineup
Amy Weeks | Head Coach | ColumbiaÂ
With over 25 combined years as both an NCAA Division I collegiate golf coach, NCAA Division I athletics administrator and standout collegiate golfer, Amy Weeks begins her ninth year as head coach of Columbia’s women’s golf program in 2022-23. The former Oklahoma State Head Women’s Golf Coach and Associate Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator, Weeks joined the Columbia women's golf program as a volunteer assistant coach in October of 2011 and was later named Head Women’s Golf Coach in August 2014.
The 2021-22 season was Columbia’s first after the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lions finished in second place at the 2022 Ivy League Women’s Golf Championship, its highest finish in the event since 2008. Two Lions—Jennifer Wang (second place) and first-year Taylor Zeng (fourth place) both earned First Team All-Ivy League honors, while sophomore Allison Paik (10th place) earned Second Team accolades. William Terminello Award winners Wang (No. 4 at 76.09) and Alexis Florio (No. 2 at 75.90) both concluded their careers ranked among the program’s top-5 players in career scoring average. Columbia set 11 school records in the process and its 304.17 scoring average ranked No. 2 in school history.
Alex Kirk | Head Coach | Dartmouth
Alex Kirk completed his seventh season as the head women's golf coach at Dartmouth in 2018-19. The head golf pro at the Hanover Country Club was appointed the Carolyn A. Pelzel '54a Head Coach of Women's Golf in July of 2012.
The 2018-19 season was certainly eventful for Kirk throughout the year, most importantly guiding his women’s squad to a second-place finish at the Ivy League Championship, a mere six strokes back for the best showing ever by the Big Green. Kaitlyn Lees placed third overall as a freshman to earn a spot on the All-Ivy League First Team, while Maddie Nelson tied for eighth to make the second team. Dartmouth also took third in the 15-team field at its home invitational to start the fall, plus claimed fourth out of 12 at the Brown Invitational.
Erika DeSanty | Head Coach | Princeton
Erika DeSanty, who is in her ninth year as Princeton's head women's golf coach in 2022-23, was named the head coach of the Princeton women's golf program on July 18, 2014.
The 2021-22 season saw Princeton win its third Ivy title in five chances, setting program records along the way as DeSanty earned Ivy League Coach of the Year honors for the second time and was named LPGA Northeast Section Coach of the Year. While winning four tournament titles and posting top-10 finishes in every tournament between the fall and the spring, Princeton had four of the best six rounds in program history, topped by a round of 280 during the Princeton Invitational that surpassed the previous program best by six strokes. The program's four best 54-hole scores all came between the fall and spring, as the team broke the program record twice in the fall, first with a score of 869 at the Penn State Invitational and then an 864 at the Princeton Invitational. Victoria Liu won Princeton's 11th medalist honor at the Ivy League Championship as Princeton went on to have its best team finish and score to par at the NCAA Regionals, finishing sixth at the Stanford site at +21.
Lauren Harling | Head Coach | Yale
Lauren Harling was hired as head coach at Yale in 2019 following a successful stint at Indiana University, where she helped lead the Hoosiers to the school’s first NCAA Championship appearance since 2007.
She spent eight seasons on the staff at Indiana and was promoted to associate head coach in July of 2017. During her tenure, the Hoosiers made three appearances in the NCAA Regionals (2013, 2016, 2019). In 2019, IU finished 21st in the nation, the school’s best finish since 1998, and in 2018 Erin Harper qualified for the NCAA Championship as an individual.
Harling, who also served as Indiana’s recruiting coordinator, mentored a number of highly successful golfers. Harper graduated in 2019 with the lowest career scoring average (74.29) in school history and played on the Symetra Tour. In 2018, Mary Parsons finished with the best single-season stroke average (73.31) in program history. Parsons also holds the lowest 18-hole score (66) in school history. In 2016, Camille Chevalier was named second team All-Big Ten and earned WGCA All-American Scholar accolades. She went on to the Ladies’ European Tour where she was named the 2017 Rookie of the Year. In addition, Harling helped Elizabeth Tong to a pair of NCAA appearances and first team All-Big Ten honors in 2015, the first IU golfer on the first team since 2006. Tong went on to play professionally on the Symetra Tour.
