Idaho women’s golf finishes its search and has picked their new head coach for the program.
Lisa Ferrero – the former head coach at Townson University in Maryland – found success in her two years coaching the Tigers’ program.
“I am thrilled to be at the University of Idaho,” Ferrero said in a press release. “The team is really talented, the facilities and staff are first class and the atmosphere is as good as it gets. I knew this was a great opportunity and when I got the chance to come see for myself, I loved everything about it.”
Within her first three weeks at the program, she led the women’s golf team to break every school record and claimed her first tournament title and led Townson to a third place finish in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship, the best in school history.
Ferro has been in the LPGA for 12 years, winning two tournaments in 2011 while on the Symetra Tour.
She has been a Class A LPGA instructor for the past decade, also gaining experience while working with Chuck Cook, a Hall of Fame coach, working on video and swing analysis and used the same technology used at Idaho.
Ferro is replacing Lisa Johnson, who left for Nebraska in June after spending 11 seasons at Idaho.
