Heath Bradley comes to Louisville after spending nearly three years in the same role at Clemson.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's and women's golf programs on Thursday jointly announced the hiring of Heath Bradley as the director of operations.
Bradley joins Louisville after serving in the same role at Clemson since December of 2012.
With the Tigers, he oversaw the day-to-day coordination of both the men's and women's golf programs, served as the Clemson Golf PAWS operations director, and also was the communications coordinator for The Tiger Golf Gathering, which benefits the Clemson golf programs and also provides support to the professional golf management program at Clemson and South Carolina Junior Golf.
“We're really excited for Heath to join the staff,” women's golf head coach Courtney Trimble said. “We feel like he's going to help us elevate the program and add value to all areas and allow our coaching staff to do more recruiting and player development. He's really experienced with operations and social media, and we couldn't be more excited about him joining our staff.”
“We had a chance to look at a lot of candidates, and he was superior to all of them” men's golf head coach Mark Crabtree said. “We're really excited – I think he's a tremendous get, and really a star in his area. He's going to do a lot of great work to help take our program to the next level. We're fortunate, we're glad to have him here and part of our Cardinal family, and we think he will do a great job for us.”
Before joining the Clemson golf programs, Bradley worked for the Clemson sports information office as a student and graduate assistant from 2008-12. He was the on-field media liaison for the football team and wrote and edited feature articles for game programs and the athletics department's website. Bradley also had a stint as a feature writer and photographer for The Clemson Insider.
Bradley graduated from Clemson with a bachelor's in sport management in 2010 and then earned his master's in human resource development in 2012.
“I am excited to join not only the Louisville golf program, but also the Louisville Athletics family,” Bradley said. “The opportunity to work with such a great set of administration and coaches make joining the Louisville family an easy decision."
He and his wife Hannah married in July 2015.
