Quick Facts:
• Princeton won 12 NCAA golf titles between 1914 and 1940 (1914, 1916, 1919, 1920, 1922, 1923, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1937, 1940), including four straight fromÂ
1927 to 1930. Only two schools have won more titles: Yale (21) and Houston (16). Princetonians have won seven NCAA individual championships: Louis Bayard 1898Â
(1897), Percy Pyne ’03 (1899), Frank Reinhart ’05 (1903), Albert Seckel ’12 (1909), Simpson Dean ’21 (1921) and G.T. Dunlap ’31 (1930 and 1931).
• Since 1975, when the Ivy League golf tournament was first instituted to determine the league champion, Princeton has won 21 titles. From 1951 to 1975, the IvyÂ
League champion was determined by performance in the Eastern Intercollegiate Tournament. Princeton earned seven Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association titles overÂ
that period: 1928, 1930, 1938, 1939, 1947, 1961 and 1969, although only the 1961 and 1969 EIGA titles counted toward the Ivy title.
• Though multi-team tournaments have largely taken the place of dual matches since the 1990s, Harry Kinnell, who coached from 1946-65, leads Princeton coaches with a 161-67-2 record, followed by Bill Quackenbush (1971-85, 154-51-4), Walter Bourne (1928-42, 124-24-1), Dutch Schoch (1966-70, 57-15), Gordon Jaehne (1986-88, 16-2), Eric Stein (1989-95, 12-4) and Dick Hunt (1995-98, 4-3). Current coach Will Green leads in tournament wins at 21, followed by Kinnell (nine), Quackenbush (eight), Bourne (five), Stein (seven), and Schoch, Jaehne and Hunt (three each). Quackenbush and Green co-lead in Ivy/EIGA titles, with eight, followed by Stein and Bourne at five, Kinnell and Jaehne at two apiece and Schoch with one.Â
• Two Princetonians won the EIGA individual title: Mike Porter ’69 (1968) and Gene Zachary ’70 (1969).
• Princeton has had two four-time All-Ivy selections: Steve Loughran ’82 and Jason Mraz ’89.Â
