College of William & Mary Men's Golf

Former William & Mary golf standout Tim Pemberton '05 begins his sixth season at the helm of his alma mater in 2025-26, after serving as the interim men's golf coach in the spring of 2021 following a long and successful business career. Pemberton was promoted to William & Mary's Director of Golf in May of 2025, retaining his men's head coaching duties while overseeing golf operations for both the men's and women's programs. He is the first W&M alumni to lead the men’s golf program since legendary coach Joe Agee ’52 M.Ed. ’56 reigned from 1964-1999, and the fifth overall, joining Agee, Jim Weeks ’51 (1955), Dickie Lewis ’51 (1955-56), and Joe Mark ’51 (1956-59). Under Pemberton's guidance freshman Camden Goldknopf posted the seventh best scoring average for a freshman in school history in 2024-25. Logan Hunter also concluded his historic career under Pemberton's tutleage, ending his time in Williamsburg as the record holder for career rounds played, second in career rounds of par-or-better and ninth in career scoring average. The 2024-25 squad posted five top-five finishes on the season. The Tribe's fourth season under Pemberton, 2023-24, was highlighted by a stellar freshman campaign from Preston Burton, who's scoring average of 73.82 ranked the second best for a rookie in program history. As a team, W&M's average 295.85 ranked the sixth best in all-time. The 2022-23 season saw the Tribe set the program record for team scoring average at 292.24, beating the old record by more than a shot and a half. Logan Hunter made his way into the William & Mary record books under Pemberton's guidance, posting 15 rounds of par-or-better, the most in program history. Hunter's 73.21 scoring average also was good for the ninth best in W&M history.   In his first season at the helm, the men's team finished fourth at the CAA Championships, its best finish since 2015, and set the best-ever scoring average in program history, with a 293.8 team average.  Individually, law student Preston Ball ranked 10th in school history with a 73.5 scoring average, and junior Matthew Feinstein was 12th all-time at 73.6 strokes per round.  Over the summer, sophomore Jimmy Taylor became the first golfer in W&M history to win the VSGA State Amateur Championship, winning five rounds of match-play golf including the 36-hole championship match, 7 & 6.  Taylor won despite finishing only 22nd in the two rounds of stroke play qualifying. Since graduating from William & Mary in 2005, Pemberton has charted a successful career in both business and the public sector.  Most recently, he's served as the Vice President with Golf Business Advisors here in Williamsburg, providing business development, financial analysis, operational strategy, and marketing services to golf courses and other industry businesses.  Pemberton's portfolios included consulting with resorts and universities on course design planning as well as executive search and marketing campaigns.  Before returning to Williamsburg, Pemberton spent four years working for the North Carolina General Assembly in a central staff role within the legislative drafting division.   Prior to his time in state government, Pemberton worked in the commercial real estate development industry on projects throughout the Carolinas & mid-Atlantic regions. He also spent two years as a professional golfer immediately after graduation, competing on the Korn Ferry Tour and various mini-tour events around the country.  Pemberton has enjoyed a successful amateur golf career as well, competing in three USGA Amateur Championships:  2003 at Oakmont, 2004 at Winged Foot, and most recently in 2019 at Pinehurst.   During his time at W&M from 2000-05, Pemberton built a career that is still one of the greatest in school history.  A two-time PING Mid-Atlantic All-Region Selection, Pemberton was also the first man in school history to be named first-team All-CAA in golf, earning that honor twice, in both 2002 and 2005.  He was the tournament medalist at the Charleston Southern Fall Invitational in 2001, and graduated holding the school records for lowest 36-hole score (137, -5), single-season average (73.19 in 2001-02), career average (74.32), freshman average (75.25 in 2000-01), wins in a season (925, 2001-02), career wins (2,969), and rounds played in a season (32 in 2004-05).  Pemberton's records for wins and rounds played still stand.  He also helped lead W&M to the 2002 NCAA Regionals, the last time that the Tribe has advanced to the national post-season. In 2009-10, he was named to the Colonial Athletic Association's 25th Anniversary Men's Golf Team.   Pemberton resides in Williamsburg with his wife, Abbey Reynolds Pemberton ’04, M.Acc. ’11, and their twin daughters, Merritt and Libby.

"We are fortunate to have Ed be able to join our program," said Albaugh.  "I've had the opportunity to work with Ed on various occasions over the last few years, and I believe his knowledge and enthusiasm will have an instant impact with our players and program.  He will be the type of coach that will earn the respect of our players and elevate their games." Teer joins the Tribe after running his golf academy at Williamsburg National Golf Club for the past seven years.  He has coached players of all ages and abilities and while he takes great pride in all his students successes, nothing brings him more joy than working with junior golfers.  Teers Academy offers the areas only year-round junior development program for 4 years old and up.  In four years the program has produced wins at the US Kids Local Tour, local and state junior tours, many high school medalists, three collegiate scholarship players, and two individual college tournament medalists.

Albaugh begins his ninth season as William and Mary's Director of Golf in 2011-12, looking to punctuate his nearly decade-long tenure with a run at the CAA title and a spot in the postseason.  In his eight seasons so far, Albaugh has led a renaissance of the Tribe golf programs, setting innumerable team and individual records in the process. In the 2009-10 season, the mens team saved its best play for the end of the year, earning a pair of runner-up finishes in its final three tournaments of the campaign. After placing second at their host tournament, the C&F Bank Intercollegiate, the Tribe was right in the thick of it at the CAA Championship, coming up just 11 strokes short of its second CAA title in program history, finishing second. Individually, junior Brandon Parker led the College, averaging 74.16 strokes a round, ninth best in the history of the school. Freshman Jeremy Wells played well all season long, culminating in a team-best ninth-place finish at the CAA Championship. On the womens side, the Tribe continued it acent into the national conversation, posting a 103-60-3 record over the course of the season, marking the first time in program history that W&M has recorded back-to-back 100-win seasons. The Tribe won two team titles in 2009-10, capturing the Bucknell Invitational and the C&F Bank Intercollegiate, marking the first time that school had posted multiple wins since the 1990 season. Individually, sophomore Caroline Sweet earned medalist honors at the first two tournaments of the season, the Bucknell Invitational and the Great Smokies Intercollegiate. Senior Morgan Stepanek ended her brilliant career for the Green and Gold in tremendous fashion, earning a spot on the All-CAA First Team. Stepanek ended her four years with W&M with a career record of 2,157-769-87, a winning percentage of .730, best in school history.  The 2008-09 season was a very successful one for the mens golf program, as a pair of seniors each earned their first collegiate medalist honors. At the Raines Development Intercollegiate, senior Brent Paladino fired back-to-back school-record rounds of 66 (-6) on his way to capturing the victory. Paladino finished the tournament with a 202 (-14), shattering the previous 54-hole school record by eight strokes. Then at the Georgetown Invitational, class¬mate Doug Hurson notched his first collegiate win, finishing the 36-hole event with a score of 143 (+1). It was the first time since 2001 that more than one player captured a tournament title in a season for the Tribe. Behind great team play, led by Paladino and Hurson, the Green and Gold finished the season with a record of 114-52-3, the ninth 100-win season in the programs history. The womens team started the 2008-09 season off with a bang, winning its first tournament of the season, the Nittany Lion Invitational. Junior Morgan Stepanek fired a school-record 69 (-3) in the first round, and along with freshman Caroline Sweet, led the Tribe to victory with each tying for third place with scores of 225 (+9). The College set school-records for 36 and 54 holes with team scores of 602 (+26) and 909 (+45), respectively. Later in the year at the ECAC Championship, freshman Kristen Hamel tied Stepaneks school-record 69 (-3) with her final round score. Hamel finished the tournament in fourth-place with a 148 (+4). It was a record year for the Tribe, as the College went 115-50-1, posting the most wins in the programs history and just its second 100-win season. In 2007-08, the mens team season was highlighted by its fourth-place finish at the CAA Championship. Junior Brent Paladino led the Tribe during the season, claiming 12 school records over the course of the year. His season culminated with a runner-up finish at the CAA Championship with a school record-tying three-day total of 207 (-6). His second-place finish is the best finish at the conference championship since John McHenry in 1986. Freshman Brandon Parker took great strides over the course of the season for the Tribe. He was named CAA Mens Golf co-Player of the week on March 26 after carding a 143 (+1) at the William and Mary home tournament at Kingsmill. His rounds of 72 and 71 were both new collegiate-lows for the rookie. The 2007-08 womens team played solidly all season, but saved its best golf for the last two tournaments of the year. At the Lady Seahawk Invitational, all five Tribe golfers shot in the 70s for two consecutive rounds, highlighted by senior Erika Oldenkamps school-record 54-hole total of 224 (+8) that earned her a tie for eighth. At the CAA Championship, the Tribe shot a school-record 299 (+11) in the final round to cement its third-place finish. The team also set the school-record for a 54-hole tour¬nament, carding 914 strokes (+50) as Oldenkamp finished ninth with a three-day total of 226 (+10). On an individual note, sophomore Morgan Stepanek was named to the All-CAA second team for her outstanding play during the season, which included the second-best season scoring average in school history of 77.90. In 2006-07, the mens team enjoyed a string of six-consecutive top-five finishes in the fall, and only had two tournament finishes under .500 for the entire year. Doug Hurson suffered no sophomore slump, leading the team with a 74.00 stroke average that at the time placed him fifth all-time in school history. He collected seven top-20 finishes through 10 events, and was named second-team All-CAA. Brent Paladino had the tournament of the year at the CAA Championships, placing fifth to earn a spot on the all-tournament team. The womens team in 2006-07 had to find its way with youth in the fall, and was able to use that experience along with the return of Erika Oldenkamp and Marissa Sprick from semesters abroad to forge through the spring and cap the year with a fifth-place finish at the CAA Championships. At the Bobcat Desert Classic, the team had two rounds where every player shot 79 or better, the first two times that had ever happened at W&M. In 2005-06, Albaugh mentored the womens golf team to a program renaissance. In the fall, the squad won its first team championship since 1992 at its own Tribe Classic, setting a school record for lowest team score in a round with 299 strokes (+11). Senior Sayde Murray captured her first individual medal, and the programs first since 2001, winning the Tribe Classic on the third playoff hole. In the spring, Murray continued her strong play to lead the team and finish fifth at the CAA Championships, and then-sophomore Erika Oldenkamp tied the school record for the lowest round (70, -2) and posted the second-best 36-hole score (147, +3) at the Bonnie Hoover Invitational. For her steady play throughout the season, Oldenkamp named second-team All-CAA. The mens team had its share of hardships to start the 2005-06 season, but the emergence of a trio of players gave the program a renewed vitality at the end of the spring. Then-junior Matt Brantingham improved his career average from ninth to sixth in the school charts, and qualified for the U.S. Amateur Public Links in the summer. Freshman Doug Hurson led the team in six of 10 tournaments and Brent Paladino led in five of the 10. Hurson had a season-average of 75.04, second on the team and second-best for any freshman in school history. Paladino led the team with an average of 74.64, setting the school record for best freshman average, and tied for the lowest score at the W&M Invitational with 69. In the summer, he qualified for both the U.S. Amateur and the Amateur Public Links, advancing to the third round of match play at the APL. In his second year, the mens team had a year for the ages, just missing out on a bid to the NCAA Regional. Gary Barton and classmate Tim Pemberton were both named to the all-region team, with Pemberton also earning first-team All-CAA and second-team all-state honors as he set the school record for lowest career average in Tribe history. Barton garnered second-team all-conference and first-team all-state acclaim after lead¬ing the team throughout the year. He capped his career by winning the Cavalier Classic in a one-hole playoff, his second individual medal in four years. As a team, the men captured two tournament titles, an outstanding accomplishment for a squad that was composed primarily of underclassmen. In March the Tribe defended its home course, winning a three-team playoff to triumph in the W&M Invitational. In April, the College followed Bartons charge to win the Cavalier Classic by a stroke over a 12-team field that included many Atlantic Coast Conference and CAA rivals. In recognition of his accomplishments, Albaugh was named the Mens Coach of the Year by the Virginia Golf Coaches Association. His inaugural campaign in 2003-04 saw 2004 graduate Ann Schnell earn first-team All-CAA and CAA Womens Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, and 2005 graduate Gary Barton earn second-team All-CAA and all-state honors. Albaugh came to the Tribe from Eastern Illinois University where he served as the head coach for both the mens and womens golf teams. In his five years at Eastern Illinois, Albaugh saw both squads achieve their best finishes at the Ohio Valley Conference Championships, including a runner-up result for the women in 2003. Overall, Albaugh coached his teams to four wins during his tenure, which included the womens first win as a program. He also led each team to its lowest stroke average in history. Previously, Albaugh served three years as the head golf coach at Mount St. Marys College. While there, he oversaw the creation of the womens golf program and also led the mens team to its best conference finish (fourth). Albaugh, a 1996 graduate of Mount St. Marys, was a four-year letterwinner in golf and was named first team All-Northeast Conference his junior and senior seasons. The Mountaineers number one golfer for three years, Albaugh won the American University Invitational in 1994 and was a two-time selection to the NEC Scholar-Athlete team. Active on the national level within his profession, Albaugh is a member of the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee, and currently serves as the CAA representative to the Golf Coaches Association of America Congress. He is also a member of the National Golf Coaches Association.
