Men’s Golf Coach: 1992-04
Frank Landrey’s tireless efforts during a 12-year coaching career helped set a course to make Liberty men’s golf a perennial top-50 program. After he was named the program’s second head coach on July 1, 1992, Landrey led the Flames to 11 team victories and had seven player capture tournament individual medalist honors during his coaching career.
Landrey, who earned his master’s degree from Liberty in 1991, guided the Flames to their first NCAA Division I team tournament victory in 1994. His squad was the first Liberty team to defeat Notre Dame in athletics department history when the Flames captured the title at the 2000 St. John’s Classic, finishing ahead of No. 30 Notre Dame. Liberty posted eight top-five finishes at the Big South Men’s Golf Championship under Landrey’s leadership, while he also helped Yong Joo become Liberty’s first Big South Men’s Golfer of the Year when he captured the individual title in 2000.
The men’s golf program became the first team in athletics department history to receive an at-large selection into an NCAA Division I postseason event. The team was selected to participate in the 2003 NCAA Men’s Golf East Regional, helping Landrey earn GCAA Regional Coach of the Year honors.
Landrey’s players not only excelled on the course, but also in the classroom as five of his student-athletes were named to the GCAA/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar team, the top national academic listing in collegiate golf.
