DaviD ShuSter

head Coach

David Shuster is in his fourth season as the head golf coach at Houston Baptist University. Shuster was hired in June of 2007 to head of the rebirth of the golf programs at HBU, dormant since the late 1980’s. He oversees both the men’s and women’s programs. Last season, the women claimed the Great West Conference championship and Shuster was named conference coach of the year. He helped guide Gaia Olcese to the individual title and con-ference player of the year honors and Balbina Guajardo to new-comer of the year honors. Paige Gibson and Natasha Lee joined Olcese as first-team all-conference honorees, while Guajardo made the second team. The men’s program transitioned to the America Sky Confer-ence, which is consists of many of the Great West schools, and the Huskies finished third at the conference championship. Su-min Yu placed second overall to earn all-conference honors.During the 2008-09 season, Shuster led both programs in their first season of Great West Conference play. The men won the first-ever GWC championship and the women recorded a run-ner-up finish. Shuster also produced five Great West All-Conference honor-ees on the men’s side and four on the women’s side in the 2009-10 season. In addition to those, the women’s team produced two members of the NGCA All-American Scholar Team. A native of Fort Stockton, Shuster was an All-State golfer in high school before attending Temple Junior College on a golf scholarship. He finished his collegiate career at Angelo State University. Shuster comes to HBU after twenty-four years as a high school coach where he coached multiple sports. His teams have claimed State Championships in football and golf. His golf teams and players have won multiple district and re-gion championships as well as having numerous regional and state qualifiers. In his final year at Aledo in 2007, his boy’s team won the state title while the girls finished third in only their sec-

ond ever appearance at the state tournament. Those finishes landed him Coach of the Year honors from the NTGCAA. In addition to his coaching and teaching, Shuster also served as the vice president in a family corporation in Ft. Stockton. He also served as the Director of the Recreation Department for the City of Ft. Stockton, overseeing the operation of fifteen differ-ent sporting activities for several summers. Quite the golfer himself, Shuster hit his third-ever hole-in-one in December of 2007 with a 3-iron on a 213-yard hole.

2009-10 Men’s Season Recap


Before returning to HBU in 2008, the Huskies’ made a name for themselves on the national stage with their men’s golf program, winning five Trans America Athletic Conference championships (1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989) and appearing at the NCAA Championships four times (1974, 1984, 1987, 1988). Former coach and di-rector of athletics Ed Billings took the Huskies to the college championships in 1974 before turning the reins over to Dave Mannen, the Huskies’ coach for the next 17 years. Mannen, one of the most successful coaches and recruiters in the Southwest, turned the Huskies into a perennial national power while winning an unprecedented eight conference coach of the year awards. He is the only coach to be honored in the HBU Sports Hall of Honor where he was inducted in 2009. Four of Mannen’s protégés won TAAC titles and earned conference player of the year honors: Ken Kelley (1982), Darryl Henning (1984), Colin Montgomerie (1985), and Paul Devenport (1988). He also had athletes selected all-conference 28 times and all-America seven times (Ken Kelley 1982; Darryl Henning 1985 & 1986; Colin Mont-gomerie 1986 & 1987; Jeff Wagner 1988; and Ulfar Jonsson 1988). Johnny Lewis and Robert Seligman were selected all-America in 1972 while competing for Coach Billings. The Huskies’ 1987 team rewrote the record books with a team that was possibly the strongest in school history. Anchored by Montgomerie, Glenn Joyner, Alex Espinosa and Jeff Wagner the team finished with an incredible 98-21 record and finished in 5th place at the NCAA Championships. Montgomerie’s stroke average was 72.19, edging out Wagner at 73.00. At that time, Montgomerie was the No. 1-ranked amateur in Great Britain and finished in the Top 20 eight times during the 1987 season. Wagner also finished in the Top 20 eight times while Joyner accomplished the feat seven times on the season. Over a dozen former HBU golfers enjoyed or still enjoy successful professional ca-reers, either as club pros or on the PGA or LPGA tours. The Huskies are building on their prestigious golf past as they look to the future.

WOMEN’S LETTERWINNERS

HBU golf was one of the most successful programs in the nation in the 1980s. Now the men and women who make up the team in the new century are beginning the trek back to NCAA prominence. Women’s golf at HBU enjoyed some bright moments in its history from 1973 until 1986 when the sport was dropped to make way for a team sport as mandated by NCAA Division I. The women’s program returned to HBU in 2007-08 and enjoyed a solid “in-augural” campaign and placed second in the Great West. The HBU women’s golf team has had two All-America selections in its history—Stephanie Farwig and Caroline Pierce. Farwig re-ceived the honor in 1981 while Pierce garnered the accolade in 1986. Both golfers have been successful on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour with Farwig being named the 1983 LPGA “Rookie of the Year.” Last season, Laci Humphrey continued the women’s tradition of national honors as she was named All-America Scholar by the National Golf Coaches Association.

The beautiful 100-acre campus is located just minutes from the city’s thriving downtown district, and the op-portunities for jobs, internships, and fun surround it. The university has a very diverse student body, with an ethnic composition similar to that of America’s fourth-largest city. Although HBU is a Christian institution, a number of other world religions are represented within the student body, adding to the institution’s diversity. Many of the university’s undergraduate students live in suite-style residence colleges and on-campus apartments. The uni-versity’s distinctive double-major curriculum can equip students for positions in more than one field or allow stronger preparation for a single field.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETESWho is a prospective student-athlete?A “prospective student-athlete,” better know as a “recruit” or “prospect”, is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, with the exception of men’s basketball which is a student who has started classes for the sev-enth grade. In addition, any younger student-athlete who receives any benefits from the institution would be considered a recruit.

Recruiting Only coaches and athletic department staff may be involved in the recruit-ing process. Athletics representatives are prohibited from contacting a pro-spective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter, e-mail, or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at Houston Baptist University. This prohibition remains in effect even after the prospect signs a National Letter of Intent (scholarship offer).NCAA Recruiting DefinitionsNCAA Recruiting Calendars

Visiting HBU An “official visit” is a visit paid in whole or in part by the university and cannot exceed 48 hours in length. A prospect can make a total of five official visits, with a limit of only one per university.Official Visit Checklist (link to .pdf file) An “unofficial visit” is a visit made at the prospect’s own expense. The university may provide (a) three complimentary tickets to an on-campus ath-letics event in which the university’s team is competing and (b) transportation to view off-campus practice and competition sites within a 30-mile radius. Prospects can make as many unofficial visits as they want.

National Letter of Intent The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a binding agreement between a pro-spective student-athlete and an institution in which the institution agrees to provide a prospective student-athlete who is admitted to the institution and is eligible for financial aid under NCAA rules athletics aid for one academic year in exchange for the prospect’s agreement to attend the institution for one ac-ademic year. All colleges and universities that participate in the NLI program agree to not recruit a prospective student-athlete once he/she signs an NLI with another college or university. Therefore, a prospective student-athlete who signs an NLI should no longer receive recruiting contacts and calls and is ensured an athletics scholarship for one academic year. The NLI must be accompanied by an institutional financial aid agreement. If the student-athlete does not enroll at that institution for a full academic year, he/she may be subject to specific penalties, including loss of a season of eligibility and a man-datory residence requirement.
