Steve Weir Position: Head Coach Experience: 3rd Year Alam Mater: Cleveland State, '06

In just over one year on the job, Steve Weir has made quite an impression on the Cleveland State golf program.

The 2006 graduate of CSU, Weir led the men's team to the 2008 Horizon League Championship and a berth in the NCAA Central Regional in his first season at the helm. For his efforts, he was voted as the league Coach of the Year by his peers.

Guiding a team that set the season scoring average by four shots, Weir had a hand in two golfers being selected to the all-league team, including Horizon League Championship medalist Jake Scott.

Weir also led the women's program to a fourth place showing at the league tournament as the Vikings set the single season scoring average record by more than five shots.

Weir arrived at CSU in the summer of 2007 with a familiarity to the Viking program, having served as an assistant coach to the men's and women's squads in 2006-07. He has also been the Assistant Golf Professional at Pine Hills Golf Club in Hinkley since April, 2007.

He had an outstanding collegiate career, spending time at Kent State and Baldwin-Wallace before enrolling at CSU in September of 2005.

In his lone season of golf as a Viking, Weir earned first team All-Horizon League honors in 2006 and was a two-time Horizon League Golfer of the Week.

He carded a school-record, eight-under-par 63 en route to a runner-up finish at the Belmont Intercollegiate and finished second at the Dayton Spring Invitational, helping the Vikings win the team title by eight shots.

In addition, Weir was a large factor in the Vikings claiming the 2006 Horizon League Championship and advancing to the NCAA regionals, shooting rounds of 70-72-74 (216) and finishing 11th overall.

He was second on the team in stroke average (75.3) in 2006.

In 2005, Weir captured the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship and also advanced to the match play portion of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.

At Baldwin-Wallace, Weir holds the best season average in school-history when he posted 75.2 strokes per round in the fall of 2003, including a low round of 70.
