Indiana University East Men's Golf

Gordon's first IU East team set school records for lowest stroke average and lowest 18-hole round. Gordon also helped Joey Smart become the first IU East golfer to qualify for the NAIA Men's Golf National Championships. Gordon's 2015 Red Wolves moved up one spot in the KIAC team standings and produced three all-conference golfers. The 2016 team won a pair of spring multi-team meets and continued the program's string of producing at least one all-conference golfer every year. Gordon is a Class A Certified Golf Professional. He was a three-year golf letterwinner at Ball State University and was a two-time Indiana state qualifier during his career at Union County High School. Gordon won the 1999 Indiana Golf Association Tournament of Champions and finished sixth at the 1996 Indiana State Amateur. "My experience as a two-time state qualifier in high school, successful NCAA Division I college golfer, and now as a professional golf instructor has given me the foundation necessary to develop a long-term successful program," Gordon said. "Not only have I dedicated my professional life toward the game of golf, I equally value the opportunity I have in being able to pursue this endeavor in the community from which I came. In truth, I feel IU East is one of the best assets available in our community and will have no trouble promoting the university and the golf program equally."
