August 07, 2017 | Men's Golf
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan has officially announced Chad Bagley as the new head coach of the golf program.
"Chad's dedication to the development of our cadets at the U.S. Military Academy makes him the perfect leader for our golf program," Corrigan said. "His experience as a cadet, an officer and prior head coach of the program brings a unique wealth of knowledge that will serve our department well. His success on and off the course will be instrumental to build on what Coach Brian Watts started and taking the Army West Point golf program to new heights."
Â
Bagley, who was a three-year letterwinner on the Army golf team and served as the interim Head Golf Coach in the fall of 2010, rejoined the coaching staff of the Black Knights last season as an assistant after serving as a team Officer Representative this past season on top of his football duties. He takes over after Brian Watts stepped down following the spring season.
Â
"I would like to thank LTG Caslen and Mr. Corrigan for having the confidence in me to lead the Army West Point golf program," Bagley added. "I'm both humbled and honored to serve as the next men's golf coach; and I'm excited to continue to work with the tremendous cadet-athletes of the Army golf team. Having recently left uniformed service, my family and I are grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve the Army, West Point, and the Army West Point Athletic Association."
Prior to joining the golf coaching staff in 2015, he was the Director of Football Operations at West Point. Bagley was in charge of the logistical operations for all aspects of the program.
Â
Before returning to West Point in 2015, Bagley served as the G1 Chief of Plans, Exercises, and Operations in USARPAC at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, and has deployed in support of both Operation Iraqi Freedom (2008) and Operation Enduring Freedom (2013). In his previous tour at West Point, Bagley served as a tactical officer and regimental executive officer after completing his master's degree in counseling and leader development from Long Island University.Â
Â
A 1995 graduate of West Point, Bagley was a four-year member of the Black Knights' golf team, earning three varsity letters during his tenure in the Black, Gold and Gray. He earned All-Patriot League honors as a junior and served as the Black Knights' team captain during his final campaign. The Black Knights won the Patriot League Championships all four seasons that Bagley was a member of the squad.
Â
Bagley also served as interim golf coach in 2009-2010. He led the team to a 6-5 victory over Navy at the Naval Academy Golf Club. The team won the Mulekicker Fall Classic at the West Point Golf Course, was second at the Service Academy Tournament and placed fourth at the Leo Keenan Invitational.
