Item Description

This past year Mitchell, a former PGA star, guided North Texas to its first tournament team championship since 2006. Along the way Jordan Rose captured the individual title of the Shocker Invitational. The Mean Green recorded four top five finishes and shot a 293 twice, which is just one shot off the school record for lowest round.

Mitchell’s experience has already paid dividends for the North Texas golf program. He guided true freshman Addison Long to three top 25 finishes in the fall of 2008. She was the first Mean Green freshman player to record such a start to a career in four seasons.
Mitchell was the head coach of the men’s golf team at Stanford from 2000-2004 and the director of golf at Texas Tech from 1998-2000 and the head women’s coach from 1990-2000. Most recently he was a teaching professional at the TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney.

At Stanford Mitchell coached three all-conference players, one All-American, and nine scholar athletes. In 2002, he coached Jim Seki to the Pac-10 conference title, the first individual at Stanford to win a conference title since Tiger Woods.

Mitchell spent 10 years as the head women’s golf coach at Texas Tech, and in 1998, he became the director of golf for both the men’s and women’s programs. He was named District Coach of the Year in 1993 and `96 and the Southwest Conference Coach of the Year in 1994 and ‘96. In 2000 he was inducted into the Texas Tech Hall of Fame.
