 Head Coach Joe Eadie
Joe Eadie enters his 15th season as the head men's golf coach at Springfield College in the fall of 2008.
Eadie is the head golf professional at the Fenway Golf Range in nearby East Longmeadow, and is in the process of becoming a PGA Professional.
A native of Springfield, Eadie is a graduate of Putnam High School where he was a baseball, soccer, and wrestling standout.
Eadie has competed in several professional tournaments and won the Kinny Open Tournament in Hartford, Connecticut, in September 1997. He also has finished in the top 10 at the Boston Open Tournament three different years. In the past he played on the Silver State Tour in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Golden State Tour in California.
In the summer of 1998 Eadie played golf with former president George Bush and 1997 PGA champion Davis Love III.
Highlights of Eadie's tenure at Springfield College include: capturing the third straight City Championship over American International and Western New England in 1997; winning the first CAC Tournament crown and qualifying for its second straight Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament in 1996.
Springfield also finished first in the spring of 1997 at the Franklin Pierce College Invitational Tournament and fourth among 17 teams at the Massachusetts Intercollegiate Golf Tournament Championship.
In 2005, the Pride hosted the ECAC Division III Championships at Hampden Country Club in Hampden, Mass., as Eadie's squad tallied a team total of 315 strokes to finish in a tie for fifth out of 19 competing teams. SC's total of 315 for the day was just nine off the leaders (Salem State, 306). Also in the fall of 2005, the Pride finished third out of nine squads at the Blazers Invitational, hosted by Elms College at Chicopee Country Club.
In 2006, the Pride finished 1st (of 6 teams) in the Franklin Pierce Invitational at Shattuck Golf Club in Jaffrey, N.H. Greg Levings earned medalist honors. SC also placed 5th (of 17 teams) in the ECAC's, and later finished T19th of 43 at the New Englands.
In 2007, SC finished 3rd (of 20 teams) at the ECAC's at Chicopee GC with 624 strokes. Craig DiFranco placed sixth and Greg Levings 10th in that tourney.
