The University of Southern Indiana Department of Athletics has selected Lu Anne Howerton to become the third head coach in the history of its women’s golf program. She succeeds Don Bisesi, who will continue to assist the program in an honorary coaching role after leading USI women’s golf since 2000 and to 10 NCAA II East Super Regional appearances since 2004.
“I am excited to have Lu Anne join our staff and I know our women’s golf program will continue to flourish under her leadership,” said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. “Lu Anne has a passion for the game and is the right person to take over the leadership of the program.”
Howerton joins the USI staff after serving Madisonville Golf and Country Club (Madisonville, Kentucky) as a club manager and event coordinator from 2006 to 2012. She also coached Hopkins County Central High School girls golf team from 1996 to 2004.
A 1990 graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design, Howerton and her husband, Jeff, who is the head golf professional at Sultans Run Golf Club in Jasper, Indiana, reside in Evansville. The couple has two daughters, Ashleigh, who played golf collegiately at Northern Kentucky University, and Taylor, a current member of the Indiana University women’s golf team.
