College Golf Experience

What is a CGX College Golf Performance Camp?

A one-day, on-course performance experience built for junior golfers who want to lower their scores, sharpen their game, and get direct access to active College Coaches. You'll spend the day working the course alongside coaches who identify what's holding your game back — and exactly what to do about it. For those competing in an associated junior tournament the following day, that's an edge most competitors won't have. Either way, the coaching, the course time, and the connections are worth the day.

01

Perform Better. Score Lower.

College Coaches see scoring patterns that junior golfers miss. Through on-course feedback and targeted skill work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's costing you strokes — and what to do to stop giving them away.

02

Gain a Real Edge on the Course

Walk the fairways with College Coaches and build a game plan most players never think to make. Know where to attack, where to play smart, and how to manage your round before it starts — for tomorrow's tournament or any round after this one.

03

Direct Access to College Coaches

Spend a full day alongside active College Coaches — ask questions, build relationships, and create the kind of in-person connection that a scorecard or highlight reel alone can't give you. This is what recruiting visibility actually looks like.

Rice University · DI

Jonathan Dismuke

Men's Head Coach & Director of Golf

University of Houston · DI

Coach Dismuke serves as both Men's Head Coach and Director of Golf at Houston, overseeing both the men's and women's programs — making him the longest-serving active head coach in Houston Athletics. He has led the Cougars to 11 NCAA Regional appearances, including five straight, with three berths in the NCAA Championships. His teams have won 19 tournament titles and his student-athletes have earned 100 All-Academic honors. As an assistant at Texas A&M, he helped the Aggies win the 2009 national championship.

Thomas Kearney

Men's Head Coach

University of the Incarnate Word · DI

Coach Kearney joined UIW after a decade at St. Mary's University, where he coached both men's and women's programs to eight consecutive NCAA Regional appearances. In his first season with the Cardinals, he guided UIW to their lowest team scoring average, lowest individual scoring averages, and highest DI tournament finish in program history. A former Irish National Team representative and professional golfer, he competed on multiple worldwide tours including an appearance at the 2010 PGA Tour Valero Texas Open.

Shane Howell

Men's Head Coach

Texas State University · DI

Coach Howell has led Texas State men's golf for nearly two decades, guiding the Bobcats through three conference affiliations and to consistent postseason success. In 2024-25, he coached Sakke Siltala to become the first TXST men's golfer to qualify for the NCAA Division I National Championships. His program has produced multiple Sun Belt Conference individual champions, three team tournament titles in 2022-23 alone, and regular top-five finishes. Before Texas State, he served as an assistant coach at the University of Virginia and earned Division II Junior College All-American honors as a player.

Aaron Puetz

Men's Head Coach

UTEP · DI

🏆 2025 C-USA Coach of the Year

The 2025 Conference USA Coach of the Year, Coach Puetz has built UTEP into a consistent postseason force — leading the Miners to back-to-back C-USA Championship match play finals in 2024 and 2025. In 2025, his squad upset top-seeded Liberty in the semifinals, with Max Schliesing (ranked No. 127 nationally) and Dylan Teeter (No. 214) both advancing to the NCAA Reno Regional — the first time in at least three decades multiple Miners qualified. Before UTEP, he won three NJCAA Division II National Championships at South Mountain Community College and was named the 2019 Dave Williams National Coach of the Year. He holds a degree in business and marketing from the University of Northern Iowa.

Allison Howarth

Women's Assistant Coach

Texas A&M · DI

Coach Howarth joins Texas A&M after three seasons on the Iowa Hawkeyes women's staff, where she helped shatter the 54-hole school record and guided the program to just its second postseason appearance in history. Prior to Iowa, she served as head coach at the University of the Incarnate Word, raising the program 82 spots in the Golfstat rankings over three seasons. A three-time Heartland Conference All-Conference selection as a player at St. Mary's, she helped lead the Rattlers to a fifth-place finish at the 2017 Division II National Championships.

Matt Fast

Men's Assistant Coach

Texas A&M · DI

Coach Fast has helped Texas A&M men's golf win 11 tournament titles, make four NCAA Championships appearances, and produce seven All-Americans during his time on staff. Phichaksn Maichon finished runner-up at the NCAA Championships under his guidance — the highest finish in program history.
