Greg Hutton

Head Coach

Hutton completed his fifth season coaching golf at CSUSM in 2014-15. The mens coach since the 2010-11 season, Hutton took over as head coach of the womens program in the summer of 2014, as well. Hutton, who holds 10 years of collegiate head coaching experience, has lifted both Cougar programs to new heights. He guided the mens team to a pair of Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Conference Championships (2013, 2015) and mentored the first-ever individual conference medalists at CSUSM, Dylan Healey and Vanessa Chap. In all, Huttons CSUSM squads have won 13 tournament championships and his players have earned seven NAIA All-America selections. Hes been named West Region Coach of the Year by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) twice (2013, 2015), and 13 mens players have been named GCAA All-West Region. 2014-15 was his first season in charge of both squads. He had four players two women and two men named All-America and he combined to win four competitions between the teams. The Cougar men won the A.I.I. Conference title for the second time, posted the lowest scoring average (293.03) in program history and had two players named NAIA All-America. CSUSM was in the final group of the NAIA National Championship before finishing seventh. The 2014-15 womens team won the Embry-Riddle Fall Invite and placed in the top-three in three others. The team finished runner-up in the A.I.I. Championship and had two players named NAIA All-America. It was the first time the womens team had a NAIA All-American since the 2008-09 campaign. The 2013-14 mens squad won three tournaments and went on to take 19th at the NAIA National Championships. Three players were named GCAA All-West Region. In his third season as head men's golf coach in 2012-13, Hutton led the Cougars to their first-ever Association Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Conference Championship, a third-place finish at the NAIA National Championships, and (at the time) the lowest scoring average in program history. In addition, CSUSM had three players named NAIA All-America; it was the first time a CSUSM player had been named All-America since 2007-08. After the team's strong campaign, Hutton was named GCAA West Region Coach of the Year for the first time. In 2011-12, the Cougars started the year off with a bang, taking home the California State Intercollegiate (Sept. 25-27, 2011) before winning the CSUSM Fall Invite (Nov. 7-8, 2011). The Cougars added a victory at the SMEE Builders Invitational (Mar. 4-6, 2013) and finished runners-up at the A.I.I. Conference Championships. After a year out of the national tournament, the Cougars earned an at-large berth to the NAIA National Championships, where they missed the cut by a single stroke. During his first season of 2010-11, Hutton led the Cougars to three top-three finishes and a third-place finish in the A.I.I. Conference Championships. From 2006-10, Hutton served as the head coach at Holy Names University in Oakland, Calif., transforming the small, private school into a national championship contender in the NAIA. In 2009-10, HNU won eight of its 15 events, including the Cal Pac Conference Championship, en route to finishing fifth at Nationals. Hutton's squad produced five All-Conference selections, the Conference Player of the Year and two All-Americans. In 2006, Hutton led the team to a California Pacific Conference Championship in his first season as coach.  The following season the squad finished second in the conference, and in 2008 Hutton led Holy Names to a 10th place finish at the National Championships and a No. 12 national ranking.
