KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- University of Tennessee women's golf head coach Judi Pavon announced the addition of Chas Narramore Wednesday afternoon.
Narramore, who spent the fall as assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University, brings nine years of professional golf experience to the Lady Vols.
"I'm really excited about Chas," Coach Pavon said. "He has all of the background in an assistant coach that I was looking for. I think it is great when you have a great player come in because it immediately elevates the play of the team. He will really help up with putting and short game.
So far, I haven't met anyone in the golf community that doesn't already know Chas so, that is a great thing for us in the state. He will be a great representative of Tennessee and really help us on the course and in recruiting. I know our players will work really well with him."
As an assistant at Middle Tennessee State this fall, he helped guide the Blue Raiders to two top three finishes including a runner-up finish at the Mercedes-Benz Intercollegiate. In five events this fall, he helped guide five Blue Raider golfers to top-25 finishes including at least one in each event that they played.
"I'm super excited," coach Narramore said. "This place is just special. I have been smiling ever since I have been on campus last week. I'm looking forward to it and ready to get to work and try to get this program where it needs to be at the national level. Judi has an amazing program already and I look forward to continuing to help build it."
Narramore split his time on various pro circuits including the Web.com Tour and the PGA Tour Latinoamerica. He played in 26 events on the PGA Tour's Web.com Tour including 21 times during the 2016 tour season. His highest finish on the Web.com Tour came in 2016 when Narramore tied for 19th at the Rex Hospital Open.
As a collegiate golfer, Narramore was a three-time All-Sun Belt honoree and was the first men's golfer in Middle Tennessee State history to qualify for the NCAA Championships as an individual when he did so in 2007. In 2008, Narramore led the Blue Raiders to the NCAA Championships as a team for the first time.
